weather

When I was little, I thought that clouds were made by someone spraying white spray paint onto air.

As a child I believed that the dark-colored "night clouds" that are visible after sunset are made of special dark-blue water vapor. At some point in my adult life I realized that this belief had persisted in my mind uncorrected!

I used to believe that the world was actually a snowglobe and when it snowed, that meant God was shaking us up!

I used to believe that it couldn't possibly rain until there was no blue left showing in the sky. I was very surprised by my first sun-shower, and I'm pretty sure it happened while I was in high school!

I used to believe that when it would be raining the white clouds lost to the dark clouds.

I thought that aeroplane vapour trails were the cause of clouds. I think my mother told me at some point that the stuff that came out of the back of a plane was water vapour, which is what clouds are made from, and I interpreted this to mean that that was how all clouds were made. That and the cooling towers of a power plant near my home. I didn't think it was there specifically to make clouds, I just thought they were a side effect.

You know how people tell young children that when it rains, god is crying? Well, when I was young, I believed that when it rained, it was the clouds peeing! Needless to say, I never went out in the rain without an umbrella.

Once when I was about 5, I asked my older sister ( Who was only about 8)
what clouds were. She told me once she was in a plane and somehow opened the window. She said it felt fluffy and tasted yummy....I admit I believed her at the time!

When i was younger my grandmother told me that when it rained, all the angels up in heaven were having a washing day and pouring their water over the clouds! I still think that it is a realy nice way to picture rain

I used to believe that when it rained God was peeing on me.

I knew about the weather balloon and how they let it go up into the sky but I use to believe that we knew what the weather was going to be like because God would put a sticky note or something on it and send it back down to the weather people.

When I was younger, my brother told me that smokestacks in big industries made the clouds and that inside these buildings were little elves that worked continuously to keep the clouds coming. I was so amazed at this that every time we passed one I'd stare so I could catch a glimpse of an elf. I found out about 4 years later that clouds were not made there and no elves were hired to make them.

When I was young (7 or 8) I would believe that everytime it rained that God was having a little party w/ his friends in heaven and were bowling (don't ask) anyways whenever it would thunder i would always believe that God got a strike and the bowling pins made the crashing sound. And when lighting stiked that was the floors surface splitting for a second whenever a bowling ball hit the floor to hard at the bowling alley. i was a very imagative kid!

When I was about 5, I used to believe that it rained because god was crying. I used to pray to him and try to cheer him up. HA!

When I was about 4 , I asked my mom why it rains and she told me that all these birds had to hold it in for a really long time and when it was decided , they all let off at the same time and it was the rain. I believed that for a good long time.
