When I was little, I used to believe... When the sky turned pink, the "lady" clouds were putting on makeup and the "boy" clouds were getting ready. The pink in the sky was created by the pink blush that the lady clouds were putting on. They were getting ready to go to the ball.
THE BIG CLOUD
When I was a child of about 8, every afternoon during the Easter holidays I used to go the river bed to play with my brothers and sisters, my mum, my uncle and my cousins. One day I saw a single large, white cloud in the sky and suddenly it started to rain. I had a brilliant idea, ' Let's run to the end of the cloud so it will stop raining!', and my brothers and cousins started to run; but my uncle shouted, 'What are you doing? The end could be in the next town!' We stopped; we could never run that far!

I use to think that snow was oreo cookie filling. When the snow melted I thought The oreo workers (my name for them) would collect the cream

I had a charming meteorological theory when I was young.
Drizzle - God's spit
Snow - God's dandruff
Rain - God, er, relieving himself.
When my son was young, we went up north to visit relatives. It was dark out, but snowing. I wanted to show my son (then a toddler) the snow so, I turned on the outside light so he could see it falling. Then, when we were finished, I turned the light out. Well, he saw me flip the switch off and assumed that it operated the snow because he said "turn the snow back on mommy!"

I remember asking my mother why there are clouds in the sky. She told me they are there so they could clean up our cars when driving on a cloudy day...
when i was a little girl i used to believe that rain is broght down to earth when goddesses who cry over their dead husband (gods)corpes who fought with each other in war.
When I was younger I believed that the weatherman actually decided what the weather was going to be. I couldn't understand why he didn't make it sunny all day and then rain all night!
I remember thinking that when a sun went behind a cloud and things were a little darker because you were in the cloud's shadow what actually happened was a big factory just shut off all the lights and caused the world to get a little bit darker.

I used to think that tornadoes were giant tomatoes that would sit on top of your house until everyone died.
I used to believe that it only snowed on grass because when I woke up in the morning all the streets and sidewalks were already plowed and shoveled
i used to believe until i was 7 or 8 that if u pass a rainbow your sexuality will change :D and i remember how i was chasing a rainbow to become a boy, but i never reached:(
Till I understood the meaning of the phrase "Every cloud has a silver lining" I always used to look at the clouds and search for the silver lining and could never find one.... :-)
When we were about 6, my best friend and I used to think that whenever we saw a rainbow, we could make different colors appear in it by throwing different colored trash in the gutter at the end of the road. It really seemed to work...
I always thought the weatherman was saying the "wind shield" today is 15 degrees. And that was the temperature of the wind hitting your wind shield while driving. YEARS LATER I find out it's the "wind chill." OOHHHHH I get it! I still think my version makes sense.
When I was four I was into doing "rain dances" which were just a lot of jumping around and yelling. One day I put my turkey feather Indian headdress on and ran through the house whooping and shouting until I got really tired. The next day we had a massive rainstorm that caused flooding in a lot of low-lying areas around town. For the next six months I hid every time I saw a police officer because I was positive they knew I caused that flood and they were coming to get me!
I used to believe that when the sky was pink, the weather men were up in the sky checking what the weather was going to be the next day.
As a child of the desert and 70-degree Christmases, I had little experience with snow. I had seen in portrayed many times in cartoons and movies, though. A jingling bell sound always seemed to accompany it.
Therefore, I resolutely believed that snow made a "jingle, jingle, jingle" sound as it fell. When it miraculously snowed one day when I was in first grade, I was rather disappointed to learn that this wasn't true...
I used to believe that tornadoes were spinning jack-o-lanterns in the air bent on destroying my house.
When I was very young, every time I said the word 'rain,' or I heard someone say rain, it seemed to rain within that day if not the next day. I thought if you said rain, you could make it rain. If only that worked for real, then we'd never have any droughts! XD
