my mom would plant a piece of candy and I would watch her do it, the next day there would be a "lollipop tree" which was really just a plant with lollipops taped to it. i thought that there really was such a thing as a lollipop tree.

When my daughter was little she would wonder what the sunbeams through the clouds were, especially after a rain storm. I told her they were angels watching over us and everyone else. To this day (she's now 12), when we see streaming sunbeams through the clouds we point out the angels to each other.

I used to believe that Moon is the kid of Sun, because it has less light and Moon smiles with kids.
From years of watching Gilligan's Island, I knew that quicksand (which frightened me) was common on islands. When I learned that Manhattan was an island, I was terrified by the thought of an upcoming trip there. I comforted myself by planning to stay only on pavement or in buildings AT ALL TIMES, fortunately pretty easy in Manhattan. I survived.
WHEN IT RAINED AND THUNDERED THEY USES TO TELL US KIDS NOT TO TOUCH OR PRESS OUR NOSES ON THE WINDOW WHEN WE LOOKED OUT TO SEE THE LIGHTENING. IF WE DID THEY TOLD US A BOLT WOULD COME DOWN AND ELECTROCUTE US. YEARS LATER IT HIT ME, THEY DIDN'T WANT FINGERPRINTS!

At age four I went with my mother and grandmother to get potatoes, being a "city kid" I found it very strange to go out to a field instead of a store. As they dug up the first mound to show me that potatoes were indeed there. I asked indignantly: "Where's the BAG"
Down the road from my home is a ditch with cattails growing in it. Growing up, I was convinced that this was a small hot dog farm. At the time this made perfect sense, as we lived in a farming community.
well when I was little, I thought we lived inside the earth, like in the core. one day I asked my mother how astronauts broke through the earth to get to outer-space. A also wondered how they could fix the holes that must be there. I was horrified when i found out we don't actually live inside...
When I was a kid, I believed islands floated on the ocean like a boat. The first time my family ever drove to Statin Island in our car, I sat in the back seat terrified that we would sink at any moment or drift away from the mainland.

my dad told me that when it rained god had a leak in his faucet so my dead grandpa would fix it because he was a plumber.
From an early age, I already knew that lightning was attracted to metal objects. But, I still didn't quite have all the facts straight.
One day, there was a storm outside while I was at home, in the living room, playing Mouse Trap. I was so scared to play the game because I thought that the little steel ball that came with the game was enough metal to bring the lightning crashing through the window and into the house.
When I was small I sat on the front doorstep one day and thought seriously about rain. I came to the concusion that God must have a row of taps in Heaven, and that he turned them on when he wanted to send rain. I felt very satisfied with my theory.
