this happened when i was quite small. it was during the rainy season when i asked my cousin (who wasn't really too old either) what exactly caused lightning. my cousin who had his own scientific beliefs told me that lightning was caused by god who was was sitting there above and clicking our photographs. needless to say whenever lightning struck, me and my other cousins would jump up and down hoping our's would be the best picture.
