I used to believe that one night, gravity would go away and everyone would float into outer space.

I also believed that if a comet hit us, the same would happen.

I lived in Hong Kong my whole life and never went to anywhere cold until my family moved to Chicago in the United States. I had watched many American movies though, and that was my only exposure to snow.

So, the first time I saw snow out my window I ran outside and tried to catch the snow on my tongue like I had seen over and over in the movies. but, I was dissapointed! I had expected it to be sweet... otherwise why else catch it on your tongue?

When I was little, I somehow thougth that the sky had a solid ceiling. Anyway, I also thought that thunder was the sound of the sky ceiling falling closer to ground and that lightning was the sparks of the sky ceiling grinding ever closer to earth. For this reason, I was screaming my head off in panic whenever there was a thunderstorm because I thought that eventually the sky ceiling would fall right down to the ground and crush us all to death.

As a little girl, I thought that all of the clouds were make of sweet icing sugar as found on top of cakes that you could eat. According to my fairytale world as a young child, Cirrus clouds were made of icing in its powder form and cumulus and stratus clouds were made of giant lumps of icing in its watery form. I was bitterly disappointed when I found out that clouds were made of nothing but trillions of tiny, tasteless water droplets.

I used to think that clouds were solid, and that if I could find a ladder tall enough, I could go sit on top of one. I told my mom my theory, and was dissapointed to find out that it'd never work.

I used to believe that the weather had to do with GOD's mood. So if it was raining, GOD was mad. If it was sunny, GOD was happy. If it was stormy, HE was angry.

I use to believe that the sun and the moon were one object and just flipped around when day turned into night or night into day

I thought that the moon wasn't cheese, but quite possibly a cookie. I got this belief from watching Rugrats, where in a certain episode, the babies imagined themselves as dinosaurs and wanted to eat the moon, since it WAS a cookie. The way they showed it, the moon looked kinda tasty.
