I used to believe that clouds were solid, and when they bumped into eachother that caused thunder and that
lightening was a seperate thing <heehee>.
I also thought that if you said the words 'thunder' or 'lightening' between May and September, that would make it happen and I'd put my fingers in my ears if anyone used those words.
