Alright...so when I was little, I must have had tornados mixedup with TOMATOES. So everytime there was supposedly tornadoes, I envisioned giant tomatoes with big shoes coming and stomping all the houses.

Once when I was about four, it was the middle of the summer and I wanted it to snow. I asked my Daddy why it couldn't snow, and he replied, "Because the air is too warm. The air has to get cold for it to snow." Being clever, I decided that I was going to cool the air myself. I got one my family's plastic ice packs out of the freezer and laid it in the middle of the driveway. When nothing happened after a few minutes, I thought that maybe the "coldness" was too low to reach the air, so I propped it up on a brick.
Around 1984, I found this funky-looking mushroom in the backyard. The cap was about a big and thick as a piece of steak. But, it coloring was disgusting (orange, yellow and green)! On top of that, brown sludge was oozing out the side. I pummeled it with a plastic baseball bat. My Dad said now I had 'got poison on the bat.' Impulsively, I "cleaned" it off with my hand. Now I had 'poison on my hands.' He told me to go inside and wash my hands. As I was going inside, I tasted my finger. Then I realized "...What have I done??? I've eaten mushroom poison!!!" I now assumed I was going to die. "2000" randomly popped into my head. "I have only until the year 2000 to live!" ...Well, it is now 2004 and I don't feel one bit ill. --How silly.

I used to think Tornadoes was when you'd see huge tomatoes attacking the town and ruining everything, what a freak.
When I was little I loved to play in the raing. Until my cousin told me that the rain was the angels peeing. I was so grossed out I wouldnt even walk to the car in the rain. I was only four.

I used to believe that the weather people would always make it hotter in London that anyway else in britain because they lived there
I used to be scared of thunder and lightning as a kid, and so I made up a story involving God and his angels, to this day, I still believe, even though I now don't beleive in God.
When its thunder, God's passing wind. When its raining, the angels are weeing, and when it's lightning, God's annoyed with everyone...
I used to believe that every seed would grow where ever it was planted. One day I swallowed a dandelion seed and for months I was waiting until it came sprouting out of my mouth, which then I thought it would kill me because I also believed that the white stuff inside dandelions was poison. So I waited for months and months for my "death" which I knew was going to come. I lived with this fear for about a year until I realized that the dandelion seed wouldn" grow in my stomach.
i used to believe that giants lived in the sky, and when it rained it was cos the giants were upset and were crying.
When I was in elementary school, I thought that tornados came out of storm drains. I walked to school in the middle of the street so that the tornados wouldn't suck me down into the storm drains. This was especially weird since I grew up in California, and we don't have tornados. I guess I watched The Wizard of Oz too much.
I used to believe…

Since the time I first heard of the fjords in Norway, I remember having two distinct misconceptions as to what a fjord is. My first was that a fjord was some kind of fruit -- totally wrong. Then later I had a notion that a fjord was some kind of festival -- equally wrong!
When I was a kid, I had a metal globe of the earth. I was under the impression that we lived on the inside of the shell, not the outside. I kept asking my Dad how can planes fly without hitting the inside of the planet. He had no idea what I was talking about.

As a child growing up in Montana, when we would be riding in the car, up and down the rolling hills, I used to think that the earth was breathing (inhale.. uphill.... exhale...downhill).

I was a kid when the Soviets got Sputnik up. I asked my father if that wasn't dangerous--I thought we lived inside the earth, and that a satellite would poke a hole through the other side when it came our way. After he stopped laughing, he explained that we actually lived on the outside. Then, I worried about falling off!
