nature: weather

My father must have thought it halirious one day to tell me that the small amounts of oil on the road were "dead rainbows". I would always say a prayer in my mind for them when I saw them. I am keeping up the tradition though (not in such a nasty way!) I tell my daughter that the power stations are really cloud making factories.

When I was little I would watch all of the American television shows and movies. Because of this I was under the impression that it is supposed to snow on Christmas. I would often pray for it to snow on Christmas.

Every Christmas I would go outside and there would be no snow.

It took me until I was about 7 to figure out that it doesnt snow In Australia.

I used to believe that whenever it rained, God was taking a shower.

My mom led my 2 younger sisters and I to believe that if you pointed at a rainbow you would make it dissappear and that was bad luck. I don't know about my sisters, but I still will NOT point at a rainbow!

When I was a little girl I actually believed that if I walked under the rainbow,to the other side, I would turn in to a boy! :-)
Sometimes I wish that was true!!

I used to believe that the four seasons were spring, summer, winter, and ottoman.

You know how people tell young children that when it rains, god is crying? Well, when I was young, I believed that when it rained, it was the clouds peeing! Needless to say, I never went out in the rain without an umbrella.

when i was little i beilieved that it would be possible to sit on a cloud.

I used to believe that whenever it rained, God was crying.

When I was little I was listening to the weather and the guy on the radio said "the wind-chill factor", I thought he was saying "the windshield factory", I couldn't figure out what the windshield factory had to do with the weather.

I went to a Catholic school for elementary education. When it rained, I used to think that God was peeing.

When my daughter was very young she saw a tornado on the news and was completely freaked out for days. Since we lived about as far from tornado alley as you can get, and up on a hill, I told her that tornados could not go up hills. It was just this year, while at college, that she found out differently. Oops, bad mommy!

As a child I witnessed a strange phenomenon called a ' mother of pearl sky' which is only seen something like once in every 100 years. It's a bit like the northern lights except you can see it in every colour of the rainbow.
I thought that the weather had been so windy that the sides of a rainbow had been split open and the colours had been spilt everywhere like paint.

When I was 4 I believed that when it was reaining it was because someone hurt, and tha sky was very sad.

I used to believe that if I dig a very deep hole I arrive in Japan. I also believed that if I made a strange face and the wind hit my face, I would be like this forever.
Sorry if my English is not good, it's because I'm Brazilian.

I used to believe that when you could see rays of sunshine coming through the clouds that they were ladders to heaven, and that if you could just find the bottom you could climb up and visit with God.
