nature: weather

I used to believe that when it was foggy outside, that meant that the clouds had lowered themselves to "human level". I thought this because I had remebered that when I was flying in a plane, and I looked out the window,and it looked like the fog and my parents said we were flying through the clouds, so I just assumed...:)

If I saw grass waving with the wind, I thought there was a train moving underground. (I lived in the suburbs of NYC, so I knew about subways, even though they weren't in our neighborhood.)

When i was younger i used to belive that when i got angry the wind would grow and become faster. The thing was though i was a very angry person when i was younger and didnt relise that i just in a windy country.

I believed that when I was little that if you ate a piece of a cloud that floated down into your bowl of soup that it would taste like a marshmellow and that you'd slowly float back up in the sky

When I was about 7 my brother who was in preschool told me that in school he ran over a rainbow. I believed him and I couldn't wait for it to rain so I could "make a rainbow." Really he had just gone down a slide and pretended it was a rainbow.

I used to believe, sun moves when nobody is looking. And the sun psyches the observer into thinking something and not notice his movements (I guess my grand mother told me this as she couldn't answer my many questions).
On many evenings, I used to sit in the balcony determined to catch a setting sun but in the process invariably used to be distracted by some thought or the other and the next time I look the sun is already a foot below from where he was when I started. As I woudn't notice I spent so much time thinking something else, i used to think he moved all that distance at my momentary distraction.
After many trials, I gave up thinking it's a human limitation and sun always manages to move when nobody is looking. Similar to the deceiving rains. I knew when it rains it doesn't rain everywhere in the world. So, i used to think, there has to be a place where the rain ends and because nobody i knew had seen such a thing, this always happens when nobody is around.

I used to believe that the Sun is real scorching hot on Sundays than on the other days of the week and somehow since i used to play cricket outdoor only on sundays, i used to feel the sun and my belief was there till i reached 8th grade..

I used to believe that when there was thunder it was because God was moving furniture around his house and it was raining because God was moping and he dumped his dirty water outside of His house.

I used to believe that the weather had to do with GOD's mood. So if it was raining, GOD was mad. If it was sunny, GOD was happy. If it was stormy, HE was angry.

I used to believe that to make it rain God turns on a lot of bath showers that were in the clouds. (I would even imagine God quickly turing hundreds of showers to make rain!)

When I was young, I thought I could touch the clouds by climbing to the top of the jungle-gym.

I believed that the weather was always the same throughout the world. So, if it was raining where I lived then it was raining everywhere else.

I always thought there were 2 seasons in a year. There was summer, that lasted 3 months, and winter, which was the remaining 9 months.

I used to believe that clouds were made by the white smoke that came out of jets up high in the sky.

I used to believe that in winter, we didn't have any clouds i nthe sky so much of the time because if we had clouds, it would cover up the sun and we would be even MORE cold than we should be and would die.

I used to think if you walk far enough to the rainbow, there will be pot of gold
