weather

When i was was a kid i used to think that clouds were actually space ships fighting over earth and that rain happened when ever one got destroyed.

I believed that if I would blow in a certain direction, a strong wind would circle the entire earth and come from behind me in a few days.

When I was under 10 I used to believe that I could control rain. I called myself the queen of rain. I thought it rained if I wished so. I even had a red umbrella and I enjoyed walking in the rain and I always felt fine if it was raining. I could also stop raining ;)))
(I still love rainy weather.)

I used to believe that when it rained in one place, it rained all over the world. When told that this wasn't true, I imagined that there was an imaginary line, and that one side would be intense rain, while the other, only few feet away, would be clear and sunny.

When I was young I used to believe that when it rained, God was peeing on the Earth. My grandma got mad.

I used to believe that when my parents said it rains in Washington all the time, it rains ALL THE TIME.

I was shocked when we were moving here and crossed the border and it was clear.

I'm almost 30 and just told my parents this one :)

I used to believe that the clouds passing by was evidence that the world was spinning and that windy days meant the planet was spinning extra fast.

For my entire childhood I was convinced that I could control the breeze just enough to move the leaves on trees if I focused hard enough. I used to sit in my backyard and stare down all of the trees, and watch as they began to rustle with the wind.

I am glad to say that I still believe in the power of the mind over all else.

When I was young, I thought "Isolated showers" was hail :)

When I was little I used to think that the sun would move with me while I was in the car.

I used to believe that when it rained, Angels were crying. And when it thundered, the Greek Gods were playing bowling.

when i was 5, at school, we were playing outside and it started to rain. then one of my friends said that it was god's urine. i ran inside and refused to come out for ages. i was scared of the rain for many years after and now, when i walk to school, i splash them with puddles and laugh-though they don't anfer they come into school soaking wet!

I believed that Clouds were actually Lions, made from giant cotton balls. Loads of cotton balls.

In August of 1979 I was 4 1/2 and my mom was pregnant with my baby sister. We lived in Florida and Hurricane David was heading our way. I remember people were taping and boarding up their windows. My mom was miserably pregnant and kept saying she wanted the hurricane to come because it would make her go into labor. I would always think of a helicopter being flown by a man named David, because I had no idea what a hurricane really was. I thought the helicopter was going to land in the courtyard of our apartment complex and that people were taping and boarding the windows because the wind from the rotors was going to blow them out.
