When I was little I used to think that thunder and lightning was God having a party in heaven with Jesus because they got bored up there. I thought that the thunder was the loud music or someone passing out on the floor, and the lightning was the strobe lights. Boy was I taught to believe wierd things! I suppose it's because my mum thought I was too young to understand science when I was 3 :D

My husband's mother used to tell him that when it was thundering that was just God moving furniture around his house.

It was obvious, thunder was the sound of God having the coal delivered direct into the coal cellar, and the lightning was sparks being struck off the coalhole cover if the coalman kicked it accidentally.

i believed that thunder and lightning came out of the alley across the street from my house.

I used to think that lightening would folow you up the stairs and zap you, and that if you had a cat on your lap during a thunderstorm , the lightening would find you.

My parents told me that thunder happened because giants were bowling up in the sky and when it thundered it was a strike. When lightning struck, it was their opponents the fairies getting a strike. For years I was worried about giant bowling balls falling out of the sky.

I used to believe when it thundered that god was moving his furniture around.

When my husband was a little boy, his mum used to tell him that thunder was just God moving the furniture about. Aww!

The Mrs

I used to believe that thunder came the handle on my Dad's drill press. I called it the thunderstick. And i also thought that storms were sucked down the storm drain when they were blown out.

Kevin

when i was young i was told that thunder represented god moving the chairs about

When I was really little, my babysitter told me and my brother that when it thundered, God was moving his furniture.

When I was younger, my sister told me that thunder storms were just the thunder and lightening shouting to one another; something they had to do, as they lived too far apart to hear each others regular voice!?!

When we were young, we were quite frightened by thunder. Our mum explained us not to worry, that it was only Jesus who was roller-skating on the clouds... That argument definitely made us smiling during rainy days !

When I was little I was so afraid of storms. I remember everytime it would start thundering I would run to my room and grab my special blankie and suck my thumb. When I turned about ten my mom told me that if kids my age were afraid of storms then that meant that they were more likely to get struck by lightening. This scared me so much that I permanently carried around my blanket as I thought that when I had it I wasnt afraid anymore. Well, lets say that my fear of storms wasn't just a small fear it was deeprooted as Id been in a terrible tornado when young.

I used to believe that thunder was caused by giants bowling in the sky.

Ivana

When i was a child, my father told me that when we were having thunderstorms, it was actually a baseball game in heaven. He said that the thunder was a coach and an umpire arguing and the lightning was cameras.

Gullable Child

As I was scared of thunder storms I was led to belive by my Mum that it was only God moving his furniture around. When it didn't stop he obviously hadn't made is mind up and was moving it again.

Tracey

My mother firmly embedded in my head that when you hear thunder, it's actually God talking. I had no idea how she could understand Him and I couldn't.

Tweedle Dum

As a very small child one day, I was playing at being 'fairy thunder drop' this involved spinning round rapidly and singing about thunder and so forth. Shortly afterwards, a thunder storm started and I was absolutely convinced i had caused it. i cried for hurs ad never played 'fairy thunder drop' again
