nature: weather

when my mom and dad would talk about the weather they would say the were calling for rain so i thought that people would call the weather channel and tell them to make it rain

I used to believe if it ever got cold enough the sky would freeze over just like the lakes did. Of course, it would come crashing down on us with a horrible noise because of all the weight. I used to have terrible nightmares of the day this would happen.

It wasn't until 2 years ago that I found out it snowed on the Jersey shore. And I'm 22 and live in Pennsylvania.

I really thought that every beach everywhere was warm and tropical year round.

When I was about 5 years old I believed that if I put a thermometer in the freezer, it would start to snow outside. I even tried it once but my grandmother found out and put a quick stop to my experiment.

I used to believe that if you went up higher,it would become hotter,but the fiirst time I got on an airplane it was actually cooler

I used to believe that if you poked a cloud with a really long stick rain would come out.

When I was 4 or 5 there was a stormy night where my mom got us up out of bed to take shelter. She turned on the radio and they were saying "This is a tornado warning." I figured that a tornado warning was the authorities warning the tornado that it better not come into our city.

When I was in first grade(1959-1960), we had a hurricane hit Massachussetts. I was watching the T.V. weatherman who kept talking about the "eye" of the storm. I believed it was an actual big eye! And I was so scared to go into the bathroom, because I thought there would be this big eye looking at me through the bathroom window. I was in and out of the bathroom so fast!

I used to believe that I was the only one who could see the clouds move.

For some reason at one point when I was a kid I thought tornadoes were a good thing and wished we lived somewhere where the was a tornado everyday (ya I was weird)

When I was 7 walking back home from the park one day it was really windy. Annoyed with the wind because it was loud and making it harder to walk I stood there with a finger to my lips and shouted SHHHHHH. The wind calmed down. I was convinced for years that I had control over the wind and when was doing something outside an it was hot I used to tell it to give me a breeze. What didn't actually help was a breeze usually came along

I used to think that a shadow could have a shadow since I had multiple lights in my house I thought they made it easier to find these shadows like breaking portals to other dimensions and I even made a whole theory as why I thought this. I showed this to my 6th grade teacher and he was baffled. I later in a month found out why I was wrong.

I used to believe…

That all clouds were made by aeroplane exhaust fumes

My dad told me that in Florida, snow is orange.

I used to believe that the clouds had a fixed position within themselves and if I stood in the same place at the same time every day I would see the same cloud pass by again.

When I was very little, I believed that when people said it might "hail", that little Tasmanian Devils would fall from the sky. I thought they were saying it was "helling" outside.
