weather

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.

When I was beetween the ages of like 9 and 12 I thought that if I jumped high enough (usually on my trampoline) I could convince Mother Nature to make it rain or become sunny. I thought that if I thought about it hard enough it would happen.

When I was small I sat on the front door step one day and thought about how rain happened. I decided that God must have a row of taps in Heaven, which he turned on and off at will, and was thoroughly satisfied with my theory.

I used to believe that when it rained, the people in heaven were all taking showers. I believed that they had showers made out of clouds, and that as they showered God would watch them making sure they didn't waste too much water. So rain drops were special, because they had touched the bodies of relatives who had already died.

I used to believe that if I could somehow get the window of the aeroplane open, I would be able to jump up and down on the clouds which I imagined would feel like cotton wool.

When my mom would tell my it was raining cats and dogs, I thought I would need to put all my cats and dogs in a cage so they would not fall from the sky!

I used to believe that cumulo nimbus clouds signaled an imminent invasion by UFO's, since in the movie EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS the camera looked skyward to see such clouds, which was immediately followed by said invasion.

My fear of tornados was heighted when I learned in elementary school that there was an "eye" of the tornados. It confirmed what I had feared, you couldn't sit next to windows because they would see you.

Sarah

i used to think that the weather men were soldiers in big black hats and red suits (like the ones outside buckingham palace) and they used to climb up a big ladder and poke their haed in the clouds and tell the queen what the weather was like.
they always got it wrong and i wondered how safe the queen was

I used to think that when it rained, God was peeing on us.

Zoe

I thought that rain meant God was crying. When it was sunny it was because He was happy and when it was snowing it was because He wanted to decorate the world.

Holly

I once thought then when it rained God was crying and when it snowed he was scratching dry skin.
