nature

During a snowstorm, that snow that blew over a light was actually a ghost.

When I was about 4 some one told me the moon was made of cheese and I believed it until my teenage years. Because I never really questiond it too much. I also never understood how the space men brought back moon rocks if it were made of cheese. So I conviced my self that part of the moon was made of rocks and part is made of cheese. I figured out the truth Around High school.

I used to believe that you could be arrested for picking a Golden Poppy in California because that was the state flower. My friends and I firmly believed this and once in a while we would pick a poppy from our own yards to show how "bad" we could be.

One day my dad was picking at the bark of a tree while waiting outside somewhere and told him he should stop and he said it was good for the tree. So I peeled all the bark of a tree in out front yard thinking I was making it healthy. I got spanked for it.

My dad told me that we were going to have a huge earthquake soon and California was going to break off and fall in the water. I was traumatized thinking that we were all going to die soon until my mom found me crying and set me straight.

I used to believe that if a rose was black it was satanic. If you held one it would fly up and cut that hand off.

when i was young i was told that thunder represented god moving the chairs about

I always thought that the layers of the atmosphere (ionsphere, stratosphere, etc) were separated, and that each layer was uniform throughout, rather than all the layers mixed together in a gradient. Also, I thought that atmosphere was contained in a bubble-like shield so all of the atmosphere wouldn't escape out into space. Ozone layer was also a type of shield (I always imagined them as a type of translucent shiny bubble), and the hole was a literal hole where there was no ozone at all. I guess that's what happens from looking at so many diagrams =P

My husband's mother used to tell him that when it was thundering that was just God moving furniture around his house.

When I was little, I used to believe that thunder was actually the sound made when God moved furniture around in heaven.

I used to believe that humans beings lived on every single planet of the solar system. When I found out we live on earth only I thought 'oh the universe isn't large at all!'

When I was little I used to believe that we all lived in a gaint shoe box that belonged to gaints and the stars where the air holes from when they put the lid on at night!

Because of the Wizard of Oz, I thought that everyone who lived in Kansas died from tornados. When I found out that friends were moving there, I became hysterical wondering why they would want to move somewhere death surely awaited them.

I used to believe that lightning at night was God's way of telling me to go to sleep.

When I was really little, I thought that maybe mountains and valleys were created by dinosaurs. I thought dinosaurs were big enough that, when they made a step, mud would squish out from under their feet and form the mountains; valleys were left where their footprints originally were.

Remember Ricky the Rain Drop? When I was in first grade I used to think that I was killing Ricky if I drank water or flushed the toilets. I got over it fast though cuz I learned that I needed water to survive the next day at school...
