I used to believe that weather was created by God on a large computer. He used to push buttons to create the weather experienced.

I also believed that thunder was created when the gods went bowling. The lightening came when ever one of them got a strike. Rain was when he was sad and crying. Wind came when god had "gas". Snow came when god had dandruff..

I used to tell my sister that the equator didn't move with the Earth, but the Earth moved and the equator would pass over it, and that's why it was so hot in summer. She believed me for a few years.

When I was about 5 I thought that the clouds were cotton candy and when I got taller I would be able to pick it and eat as much cotton candy as I wanted. My brother told me that when it rained God and Satan were fighting over rice in a pot that when God won( which he always did) Satan would cry and throw over the pot and the rice and Satan's tears would mix and make rain.

My mom told me that rain would help me grow... at a small 5'3" the reality set in quickly.

My mom told me one time during a tornado warning that if it was raining, that there could not be a tornado.
I had a plan.
I would go outside if I saw the tornado, and grab the hose. Then, I would spray the tornado down and make it go away. I would save the whole neighborhood!!

When i was younger i thought thunder was from mother nature bowling and lightning was from mother nature not paying her electric bill and rain was from mother nature crying and i thought wind was from mother nature sneezing ( i think) Whenever one of these things happened i would always look out my window for mother nature.

Growing up, our neighbor had two small, white stone statutes in her yard, a squirrel and a dog.

One day I was playing the role of Smarter Older Sister and telling my 9-year-old brother about acid rain. "Know those animals in Mrs. Daniels's yard?" I said. "They would still be alive today if they had had the sense to come in out of the acid rain."

He was 11 before he realized how full of shit I was.

Brown or otherwise non-white snow was snowman poop. My kids believe it too!

Dellio

I used to believe that if it was raining and the sun is outside it's because a witch was getting married.

I used to think that clouds were solid, and that if I could find a ladder tall enough, I could go sit on top of one. I told my mom my theory, and was dissapointed to find out that it'd never work.

One who dreams of sitting on clouds

When I saw that the clouds were moving in the sky, I thought it was because of the rotation of the earth.

When I lived in San Francisco as a child, I asked my aunt why the fog horns blew every night and she told me they used them to blow the fog off the Golden Gate Bridge! I was able to go to sleep comforted by that thought.

when my cousin first learned the water cycle he told me about evaporation, and told me that was when the water on the ground suddenly flew up into the air and that i was too small so i would be sucked up with it, and he told me that if this happened he would have to tackle me and hold me down..so i went on for years fearing that one day it would rain up instead of down and some random guy would tackle me and hold me down so i didn't fly into the clouds

My dad thought when he was little, rain was caused by army guys in the clouds with rain guns.

Daughter of the Weird

When I was 4 or 5 I used to think that the wind came from trees, that somehow, the trees were moving and fanning the earth... My mom had to explain that it was the other way around.

Rose

I used to believe that thunder and lightning was caused not by the discharge of electicity from the clouds to the ground, but rather it was caused by dragons fighting

Steve

When I was a kid I thought that when tornado/twisters were what happened when God sneezed.

Not In Kansas Anymore

I used to believe if it was raining in the town I lived in then it was raining everywhere in the world

Pablo

When I was little, I thought that when it rained, people in heaven were sitting on the edge of the clouds pouring buckets of water down to the earth below. I'm 28 now and still get that image from time to time.

I used to believe that I could control the wind because I was born in March. I would stand outside on my back porch all afternoon and control the wind.
