As a child I used to think that clouds were big pillows of white fluff and that was why fireworks night was never on when it was cloudy because it would set the sky on fire. The concept of someone accidentally burning the clouds scared me because I knew the firemen's ladders wouldn't reach that high up and I thought the fire would just keep going till bits of burning cloud fell out of the sky. My imagination was quite vivid like that!
