weather

I used to believe that my choice of pyjamas to wear would determine the following day's weather.

I once asked my dad if the stars were the holes in the sky where the rain fell through - that's why it fell in droplets.

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 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.

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.

When I was a kid I was always told that God is in heaven. Of course I then drew the conclusion that if he is there he also sleeps there. So I used to think that when it rained it was God who peed in his bed during sleep.

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 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.

When I was 9, we moved to California from back east. The house we lived in had a view of the valley with the ocean at the end. Every night when the sun would go down there would be fog soon after. My dad told me that the fog was actually the steam from the sun going into the ocean! No, I don't believe that now!!
