I specifically remember looking out at the sky on our porch one night...it was cloudy, but the clouds blended in with the sky, and so I figured it was just a starless sky.
So I turn to my grandmother, and tell her "The stars ran out of batteries!"
Later on I found out that stars did not run on batteries at all, but it was fun to think while it lasted.
