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...?!
