When I was really young my mom told me that thunder was the sound of God bowling, and that when sun rays shone through clouds it was souls ascending from a graveyard.
I figured out the truth when I was a little older, and at that point swore that if I ever had kids I would look up the real answers to their questions rather than confuse them with nonsense.
