When I was about 7 or 8 I remember being out on the school field and looking up at the sky and wondering what it looked like from space. I had this image of a blue ball with all the oceans and continents, but with a big fried egg splattered across it. The yolk was the sun and the white was all the clouds.
The belief didn't last all that long but it was incredibly vivid and I still remember it now.
I still don't like fried egg very much either.
