That the local power plant was where clouds were made

Anon

I used to believe that large industrial complexs were factories to manufacture clouds and that the chimney stacks were made so tall so the baby clouds could reach the sky.

Growing up we used to pass alot of factories. I was probably 5 when I announced to my parents...look that factory makes clouds. I saw the smoke coming out of the stacks. My parents never corrected me!!

my younger sister used to believe that smokestacks made the clouds in the sky...she actually believed this up until a few years ago and she is now going on 22.

I use to believe that the polution that comes from the mills were actually making clouds.

This actually was a belief of my brother's that when I was a kid, I thought was true. My dad works at a power plant, and my brother, in preschool said his daddy worked at a cloud factory. after hearing my parents say this story over and over I started to believe them.

I used to think that clouds came from the big factory downtown. When the clouds were dark, the factory was putting out more pollution.

My husband used to believe that smokestacks were cloud machines. It's just about the cutest thing I've ever heard.

On long car trips we would pass factories whose tall stacks continuously steamed and smoked. I was sure these were cloud factories!

I told my kids that the huge chimneys at the power station were cloud machines. Travelling past one day, the sky was blue and the first chimney wasn't smoking (strange coincidence?), but a few miles up the road and the sky began to cloud over. You guessed it, the second chimney was smoking. So, my little story became their belief, until I fessed up and told them the truth!

My lovely older brothers convinced me that the factories with the gross polution coming out of the chimneys were the "cloud-making" buildings and they make clouds and shoot them into the air. I would get really worried if I saw a chimney with no smoke coming out because I thought the clouds would not be able to be made and then the sun would fall down and crush me and my stuffed animals.

i live near a chemical plant with two cooling towers (which always have steam coming out of the top), and when i was younger i used to think that the purpose of the factory was to make clouds. i also thought that aeroplanes were responsible for making clouds.

I used to belive that clouds are made in a factory!

Toni

When I was wee little, my Aunt K told me that the smoke stacks in my home town made the clouds. The sad part is, I believed it until I was 12.

When my sister Elsa was little, whenever we drove past the power plant, where there was always smoke coming out the smokestacks, she thought that the power plant was the "cloud factory", and that was its sole purpose was to make clouds, otherwise there would be none.

Going to my Grandmothers, we would always pass a huge factory that had tons of smoke pouring out from it. I though it was a cloud making machine.

i used to believe that the things in factories that blew the smoke out into the air were cloud makers .. god, i was a stupid kid

When I was little, I believed that clouds came from paper mills.

Ryne

There is a factory in my town that emitts a lot of white steam. Everytime my family would drive by, my sister and I would exclaim "Look! It's the cloud factory!" We really believed that the factory made clouds.

Kaitlyn

when my family would be driving down a major highway, we would pass these factories that would let out this cloudy stuff. my mom would tell me "they are cloud makers"...little did i know it was pollution :)
