When I was young, I clearly remember that I thought that when my mother drove the car the moon followed the car and I think that I was not alone

I used to believe that a Monster would apear in front of me when it was lighting in an storm. For years I was so afraid of it!!

When I was little, my grandmother had a weather house. It had two doors. There was a woman in one door and a man in the other. The woman would come out if it was going to be sunny, and the man would come out with his umbrella if it was going to rain. I thought the man made it rain. I slapped him and broke the weather house, screaming "I hate you. Every time you come out it rains!"

When I was about eight or nine, my grandfather took me to a marina. The sea was so flat that I didn't think it could possibly be water and wanted to walk on it to check. When Grandpa said no, I thought that you had to be older to legally check if something was water or not.

I spent most of my childhood somewhere without any snow, and I read a comic where a boy explodes from getting a snow flake on his tongue.
The joke was because the snowflake was dangerous as it was the result of a nuclear winter but I didn't know what a "nuclear winter" was, so I thought that getting snow on your tongue would make you explode.
Thankfully, my father (who spent a significant amount of his childhood in Scandinavia) cleared that up pretty quickly.

When I first heard weather described as "clement", I had only heard the word as a man's name, so I thought that there was weather for all the names (like "Maurie weather" or "Elaine weather").

I used to believe that the boats in the ocean could fall if the continued surfing because of the shape of the Earth was round...

When I was a child I used to think that it was raining, because the clouds were crying, I believed that they were sad.

I used to believe that we didn't live On the planet, but IN the planet and that when you crossed the sky on an airplane you could arrive in China. It was a shock to me when I heard the truth :)

I used to believe that my parents were aliens, for I once saw them like green coloured and with tentacles :(

I was told that thunder was my passed away grandfather playing football with God/Jesus, lighting was chandeliers that young angels caused to fall by playing on them, and that rain was God's tears that he was losing a follower of him, or because he fell and got hurt. I still believe that to this day

When I was a child I was absolutely terrified of tornados. (For good reason, of course). I thought a tornado was a nail- shaped cloud. It would come down out of a big cloud and pound into houses with one loud bang.. Up and down, up and down, going in a line, smashing each house individually. No wonder I was so terrified.

When I was a little boy I thought the moon was following me in the car when the roads and I thought the moon was the sun when it was dark.

When I was a little girl, I used to think that the moon was following me. In the evening when I was drinving back home from people. I looked behind me and I saw the moon, I did not talk to my parents but I was scared, I spent my entire trip back, watching the moon and wondering if "she" was really following me I used to think that for a long time, but now I do not believe it anymore

When I was a child I was used to putting my tete under the water because I believed that I could breathe under the water.

Occasionally during the late summer there were huge cumulonimbus thunderhead clouds in the sky that formed a fantastic aerial landscape with a terrain like the surface of cauliflower. I thought that if there was only a way to get up there I could bounce and tumble around on top of those clouds the same way I sometimes jumped on my mattress. I remember hunting around outside in the park for the magic beanstalk so I could climb up to those clouds, but sadly I never found the beanstalk anywhere.
