I used to believe when driving at night through the fog, that the patches of fog were ghosts. I thought that until high school.

When I was younger, I thought that snow days when school was canceled it was so all the kids could have a good time and play outside in the snow... it did not occur to me that it was because the cars could not drive on the icey roads... heh heh...

When I was about the age of 3, I was deathly afraid of leaves. Whenever my mom took me to the supermarket I'd start shrieking and be really freaked out, because I didn't understand the blowing wind was moving the leaves, I thought they were actually alive and wanted to get me.

I used to believe that it only snowed on grass because when I woke up in the morning all the streets and sidewalks were already plowed and shoveled

Until I was a teenager, I believed that rain made worms came out of driveways.

I used to believe that every cloud was a different country

When I was 4 my brother and I used the garden hose for hours, spraying the sidewalk, trees, etc. My dad got mad at us for wasting water and since storm clouds were gathering, for some reason he told us that we had "made it rain." Until age 10 I firmly believed that spraying the water into the air had caused the clouds to form and caused the resultant rain, and I didn't completely let go of this belief until about age 15.

The clouds were really the images, animals and people I imagined them to be

I used to believe that if you stood on top of a snowbank for long enough, you'd sink down right into the ground!

I used to tell my sister that the equator didn't move with the Earth, but the Earth moved and the equator would pass over it, and that's why it was so hot in summer. She believed me for a few years.

Trains ran past the Hudson River that I lived near as a boy-- they still do, in fact. I always used to think that clouds were a product of pollution-- that the trains puffed smoke and steam, which stayed up in the sky to form clouds. I asked my mum about this, and she agreed with me.

I at the time was very proud of myself-- I'd figured out a force of nature, and was thereby smarter than all of the kids in my class. When my teacher asked said class about clouds-- and what they were, I immediately raised my hand and stated my theory on cloud production.

Needless to say, I didn't believe her for the longest time, 'cos my mum told me I was right.

I used to think I was allergic to the sun because everytime I looked at it I would sneeze

I can vivdly remember my sister laughing when I suggested to her that it was impossible to get dirty in winter because all the dirt was frozen. Seemed like sound logic as a kid being told it was time to take a bath.

I used to believe that when it thundered that was God's stomach rumbling because he was hungry, when it rained that was God crying, the wind was God breathing and i thought that lightening was God's lightbulb blowing.

When I was little, and it would rain I thought the angels were peeing!

Anon

when i was younger when it would rain outside. i use to believe that god was crying and when it was sunny he forgot the light on.
