As a little freak of a kid I believed that acid rain would severely burn someone, and that it made a sizzling sound upon contact with the flesh.

Tornado

I used to think that clouds were attached to the sky and the earth turned underneath them. Some days the earth turned faster than the day before, sometimes it turned the other way. Wind was caused by the turning of the earth.

When I was about in grade 2, I used to believe that I could control the wind by singing. I thought of myself as somekind of goddess. I had even convinced other kids in the school yard that by singing I could make the wind blow.

I used to believe that when it rained it was God and the angels taking showers.

I used to think God was crying when it rained, he was angry when there was a storm, he was happy when the sun was out and bored when it was cloudy.

I used to believe that when the weatherman talked about the "wind chill" he was saying "wind shield," and that meant they had a giant platform on the back of a semi truck that they could raise to deflect the wind away from the town.

When I was little, whenever a storm came, I'd always stay inside and run around like a maniac.

One night we were going through a particularly bad storm. Tired of my antics, my grandmother told me that movement attracts lightning. So, I believed that if I moved in the slightest way, I'd get electrocuted.

Even today, more than a year after she died, I still sleep or read during a storm, and avoid getting up!

When I was a child, I thought that when it rained, God had stationed one angel to each large bucket of water. On the count of three, he gave them the go-ahead to turn them over all at the same time.

My mom used to say "Close the door it's cold out side!" I used to believe that if i closed the door it would be warm outside.

I used to believe that tumbleweeds were tornados. I would see one whirling around the farm and would run in the house for safety.

Carrie

I used to think that tornados were HUGE scary potatos that had wind flying around them (like Taz the cartoon character), and that it had red beady eyes and fangs and would come after you. I would hide for hours when there was even a tornado watch, with my brother's football helmet on and my parents could never find me.

I used to believe that whenever it rained, God was crying.

I used to believe that you would get a break from breathing when you slept and the reason our parents were always hurrying us to bed at night would be so that we were asleep when they changed the air in the world ready for the next day.

I used to believe that on the rare occassion when it rained while the sun was still shining, the sun would get wet and drip and set fire to anything it drips on which

When I was a small child my family - specifically my older brothers and sisters had me convinced that snow was a different color in each state of the country. For example, Vermont had blue snow, New Hampshire was green, etc. Of course, every time it would snow, I would beg my parents to go see the colored snow in the other states because all I ever got to see was New York's snow which was white! Go figure!
