My brother once convinced me that the wind was "leftover hurricanes"

My mother used to tell me that if you walk in the rain without an umbrella, you would get lice. I'm 30 years old now, but I still get a strange nervousness when I get caught without a brolly in the rain.

i used to think that when it was foggy outside that the world had turned upside down and the clouds were on the ground instead of in the sky.

chicken little much?

In elementary school, I misread the word "cumulus" and thought cumulus clouds were actually "Columbus clouds." I realized by sixth grade that I'd been wrong, but I still like the picture "Columbus clouds" gives me of the explorer leaning forward at the front of the ship, guided by the huge stacks of white clouds passing across a cerulean blue sky. So for me, "Columbus clouds" they will remain.

I used to think that clouds were made out of snow. In the summer I would stare at the "snow" up in the sky and wish that it would fall down.

When I was little I used to believe that the wind was created and controlled by the police. I imagined huge fans the size of a house placed in the middle of the forest blowing winds in a controlled fashion. Of course the police were the only ones allowed in the forests for this reason. I believed this until the day I officially learned about wind at school.

When I was little my grandma told me that when it thundered the angels were bowling. I also believed that the lighnening was the lights they used to light the bowling alley. I believed that for several years.

I used to believe that when it rained, it was raining everywhere on the entire earth. I didn't know that it came from clouds.

when i was younger i used 2 think that the whole world might be a toy like a snowglobe and sometimes the owner would shake it up and it would snow or rain or get windy

When I was little, I believed that I had the power to control the wind. Later in college, I confided in a friend about it. She told me she used to believe the same thing. "You know what?" I said, "I stil kinda believe I do." She smiled at me and said "Me, too."

We've been best friends ever since.

I used to believe that if I could somehow get the window of the aeroplane open, I would be able to jump up and down on the clouds which I imagined would feel like cotton wool.

i used to think tha if you went outside when it was acid raining the rain would burn holes in your skin

fear of rain

I also used to believe that the song "Rain Rain, Go Away," could actually make the rain go away if sung enough times! Many were the times when I would stand by the window, dutifully, singing "Rain rain, go away, come again another day. All the children want to play... Rain rain, go away," etc. When the rain stopped, I used to think it was because of my singing "Rain Rain, Go Away." In my defence, I was only five at the time!

people say that the seasons are people and when one ended they would go to sleep untill there next turn,well i STILL belive that i am the season autumn!,all my freinds call me "the autumn prince"

When I was little, I thought that clouds were made by someone spraying white spray paint onto air.

When I was about the age of 3, I was deathly afraid of leaves. Whenever my mom took me to the supermarket I'd start shrieking and be really freaked out, because I didn't understand the blowing wind was moving the leaves, I thought they were actually alive and wanted to get me.

I used to believe that rainbows were like the Lottery. Every rainbow was supposed to have a pot of gold at the end of it and I always wondered whose yard it landed in after it rained.

When I was younger I used to think that because the sun was made of fire, the moon was the opposite and was made of ice because of its colour sometimes,and I thought that when it rained, it was the moon melting!
