nature: weather

Due to a father's brief history lesson one cold night, I firmly believed that the next Ice Age was going to happen overnight, with continent-sized glaciers at my door when I left for school one morning.

When I was two, my mom use to tell me to never drink the rain. She didn't tell me why so I thought it was angles peeing onto Earth. I believed this until I was 11.

Rain was God taking a piss.

When I was a little girl, I was afraid I could rip the clouds with my feet when I soared too high on the swings!

I used to believe that everytime it rain that Mrs. Cloud was crying b/c Mr. Cloud made her mad.

When i was about 5 my dad told me that the stars were holes in the floor of heaven and when it rained it was the angels crying over something somone in the world did. i believed that till i was 9.

I used to believe that when it was foggy outside, that meant that the clouds had lowered themselves to "human level". I thought this because I had remebered that when I was flying in a plane, and I looked out the window,and it looked like the fog and my parents said we were flying through the clouds, so I just assumed...:)

I used to believe that if I looked out of the window in the early hours of the morning when it was just getting light, I could see a big evil looking eye in the sky (it was obviously a cloud I'd once seen!) which was staring directly at me.

I vividly remember seeing it in the sky! This freaked me out for years...

I used to believe that the oddly-shaped clouds were made from oddly-shaped sheep

When it rained I thought it was raining all over the world.

when I was young I used to think that whatever shape you saw in the clouds was something that used to live and heaven formed its shape in the sky so people could remember.

I used to believe that whenever it rained, God was taking a shower.

When I was little, I thought that weather balloons actually made the weather the way it was. I thought that the weather men on television decided what the balloons would deliver us.

I used to believe that, when it rained in my city, it rained all over the world. It took me a couple years (of young childhood, like, before grade school) and of watching the weather channel on TV as punishment, lol) to figure out that it rained in different areas at different times. Of course, I rarely see someone that was as dumb as I was back in those days.

When the TV weatherman would list the current temperature and the windchill factor, I thought he said "windshield factory". I could never figure out why the weather would be different there and why anyone would care about it.

When I was a little boy, probably around the age of 5-6 years, I used to believe that the northern light would come and eat me if I went out when it was visible.
