nature: weather

when i was little my mum was always saying every time there was a black sky "Ooh, look, it's black over Bill's mothers". The trouble was that my Grandad's name was Bill and I can remember once coming back from holiday on the motorway and my Mum said it again as there was a massive grey thunder-cloud in the sky. I remember thinking "God, where ever we are, she always seems to know what direction Grandad's mum's house is in!" Then one day me and my Mum and Dad were driving along in the car again and the radio presenter said "and here is todays weather, ooh, it looks a bit black over bill's mothers" i was well shocked and i thought "how does he know grandad?!"

I used to belive that in the fall when the leafs fell from the trees, it was the long neck dinosaur ghosts eating them. You would see them on the ground becaus ethe ghosts arent solid.

When I was in jr. kindergarten a little boy threw a worm in my hair and for years after I believed that people carried umbrellas because worms fell from the sky.

I was brought up in England near a golf course which had a stream running through it, into which I fell one day, and it was very cold. When I was about 4 my mother told me that the "golf" stream kept England warm which I could not credit as it was so small and so cold. Not for years did i realise that she had said the "gulf" stream.

I used to believe that, and this is true, that God and the Devil would have a card game to decide the weather...SO if it was raining the Devil had won and if it was sunny God had come up trumps! We were a big card playing family thats my only excuse!!

when it used to rain when i was little i used to sit and cry becasue i was scared that it wouldnt never stop and that we would be flooded and live in an ark like noah.

I used to believe that when it rained it was raining everywhere in the world

I used to believe that if it was raining, it was raining all over the world at the same time!

When I was like 5 or something, I used to be afraid of the snow. The first time it snowed, I was scared to walk on the snow cause I thought If I did, I would fall down past the snow into no where cause I thought the grass was gone. I would walk slowly and be scared, thinking soon I would fall deep down. My dad soon told me that I wouldn't disappear in the snow.....

It often rained when I walked home from school and I would get drenched. However I wouldn't have got so wet if I hadn't beleived that the faster I walked the faster (and more) that rain fell. I would walk really slowly believing that the rain would would virtually stop. Sadly, at 21, I still catch myself slowing down if it starts to rain!

When I was little, my older cousin lead me to believe that when it rained, someone had made God upset, and he was crying! And when it snowed, for some reason, God was tearing up his bed-sheets!

When I was a child, I used to lie on the hill behind our house and watch the steam engine trains go through the valley, and the big puffs of black smoke form dark clouds. I believed that is how all dark clouds were formed and argued with the teacher (and everyone else) about it. I KNEW, because I saw it.

When I was little my friends and I all believed that when it thundered, God was bowling, and when it snowed, God has spilled His sugar bowl

I used to believe that when it rained that ment God was really sad about something.

When i was little, a class mate of mine told me that i would go blind if a snowflake hit me in the eye. Consequently i spent most of my younger years walking around with my eyes closed if it was snowing. I missed out on a lot of good snowballs fights and get severe reprimands from my parents as a result of this!!

When I was little I used to love snow and I made myself believe that if I looked outside when it was snowing, the snowfall would stop. It happened once and I told my mum about it. She said it was just a coincidence, but I am still reluctant to watch the snow fall... and I am 23...
