When i was about 2 years old and i went shoppping with my mom,in the parking lot it would always be really windy, and i thought that the wind would blow away my hair, so i was terrified and i always would hold my hair on my head.

When i was little i used to think that the smoke coming from the mills smokestacks made the weather. Like they programmed the weather for the day and made it whatever they felt like.

When I was really small (about four), I asked my mum how the clouds stayed up in the sky. She told me that they were all hung up there on giant sky-hooks. I accepted this, in the trusting way that small children accept anything their parents say. The sad thing was that for years and years afterwards, it never occured to me to believe anything different! I suppose If I had actually taken the time to stop and think about it...?!

When I was young, I used to watch jumbo jets flying over our house, high in the sky. When the steam from the engines came spraying out the back of the planes, I thought that that is what created clouds and I always ran to my mom and told her that it was going to rain later.

one day in first grade the teacher was telling us about weather baloons. i asked how the the baloon let us know what weather was up there and she explained that the ballon had instruments in it. That baffled me for quite some time... i assumed that the ballon had musical instruments such as a drum, trumpet, guitar etc... and somehow a specific weather condition would make the instruments play different tunes. i wondered if the scientist had to hear the tune while it was still high in the air or if when they brought it back down, it was still playing the tune.

i now have a degree in climatology and am working in the insurance business... go figure!

When I was a child, I thought that when it rained, God had stationed one angel to each large bucket of water. On the count of three, he gave them the go-ahead to turn them over all at the same time.

I once thought then when it rained God was crying and when it snowed he was scratching dry skin.

When I was little, I used to think that fog was made out of cotton candy. When ever it was foggy, I used to go out and try to eat it. It always dissapointed, becuase it tasted bland. it wasn't until I was 7 that my cousin told me it was water vapor.

i used to believe until i was 7 or 8 that if u pass a rainbow your sexuality will change :D and i remember how i was chasing a rainbow to become a boy, but i never reached:(

my mum used to say that if you made lots of noise when you saw a rainbow it would frighten it away, even now, I still have the urge to stay completely still and quiet whenever I see a rainbow - the power of nature eh!!!

when my mom and dad would talk about the weather they would say the were calling for rain so i thought that people would call the weather channel and tell them to make it rain

I used to believe if it ever got cold enough the sky would freeze over just like the lakes did. Of course, it would come crashing down on us with a horrible noise because of all the weight. I used to have terrible nightmares of the day this would happen.

I used to believe that if I ran fast enough I could outrun the rain.

It wasn't until 2 years ago that I found out it snowed on the Jersey shore. And I'm 22 and live in Pennsylvania.

I really thought that every beach everywhere was warm and tropical year round.

I used to believe that my choice of pyjamas to wear would determine the following day's weather.

I once asked my dad if the stars were the holes in the sky where the rain fell through - that's why it fell in droplets.

When I was about 5 years old I believed that if I put a thermometer in the freezer, it would start to snow outside. I even tried it once but my grandmother found out and put a quick stop to my experiment.

When i was little i used to believe that i could suck up a tornado in a vaccuum if it came in my house.

That all clouds were made by aeroplane exhaust fumes

My dad told me that in Florida, snow is orange.
