I used to think that if you stared real hard at the wind, you could see the angels.

My mom used to say "Close the door it's cold out side!" I used to believe that if i closed the door it would be warm outside.

When the TV weatherman would list the current temperature and the windchill factor, I thought he said "windshield factory". I could never figure out why the weather would be different there and why anyone would care about it.

I used to believe that when the weatherman announced that there was a 30% chance of rain, it meant that it was going to rain 30% of the day. It always seemed to be raining during the summers of my youth.

Not sure at what this was, but I use to be afraid of thunderstorms. To ease my mind Dad told me God was bowling. The rumbling thunder was the bowling ball going down the lane and the lightning was him getting a strike. If memory servers...God is an outstanding bowler with many 300 games.

Someone told me about walking on clouds whe I was young. naturally, I belived that was possible. But the clouds never came so close so I could try. :-(

When I was a kid, I used to believe that windmills were what caused the wind to blow. silly me :)

I used to believe that if it was raining, it was raining all over the world at the same time!

I used to think that when it rained the angel/fairies were watering us with little watering cans! as though helping us to grow!

ok. when I was young we would travel to visit my Grandad. We passed sugar mills, car factories, and other large buildings along the way.
well, listening to the radio weather updates in the car I always thought they said the tempeture at "the windshield factory" is such and such degrees. I figured that was a place we passed on the way to Grandads. I was 16/17 before I ever figured out they were saying "THE WIND CHILL FACTOR" DOH!

I used to believe that when windmills spun round they were making wind. They only spun round on windy days and stayed still on sunny days, so i never doubted my belief. I never could understand why people wanted to make it windy, STUPID PEOPLE!!!!!

My dad worked on a plant of some sort. They had those huge stacks with all the smoke coming out. One day I went up there with my mom and I saw the smoke, I truly believed that my dad made clouds all day! But no, he was just polluting.. ha.

My aunt had my cousin convinced that clouds were made by sticking cotton balls together with peanut butter and throwing them up into the air.

I used to believe that went the sun went down, it went down into the ground over in China.

i used to think that clouds got in the sky by the skywriters. One day there was no clouds and i said that it must be his day off

My cousin moved from Texas to Illinois when she was about 4. At the time is was winter and she had never seen snow. When her mother told her that she was finally going to see snow she started crying. As it turned out she thought that snow came out of the sky in the form of snowballs and they would hit you in the head if you went outside.

when i was small about 4 or 5 i asked "why dose the sun kept disapearing?"
"its cloudy." my mom replied.
i heard clowny and pictured big fat clowns covering the sun.

I used to believe that winter came because the earth had moved farther away from the sun. It never occured to me that it was summer in other parts of the world, I thought we had global summers and winters. That never explained why it never snowed during our Christmas time, which is in summer.

Growing up in Los Angeles, I believed snow came down in balls - literally snowballs falling from the sky. Imagine my disapointment the first time that I saw snow.
