A childhood belief about weather

When I was riding in the car a rainbow appeared in the sky out the front windshield. I wanted my father to drive faster so we could go under it before it disappeared. I discovered that rainbows were optical phenomena and not physical objects when playing with the garden hose. The rainbow produced by the spray would always be the same size and if I tried to get closer or change my viewpoint it would vanish.
