weather

I thought weather forecasters were psychic and that's how they knew what the weather would be.

I used to believe that tornados were giants that looked like the Jolly Green Giant except that they were red like tomatoes. I was always afraid one would come loudly walking up to our house and try to reach in thru our back windows to get me.

I used to believe that there were male and female rainbows. Male rainbows were shaped like a curved arch (what you usually see) and female rainbows were shaped like a ribbon tied in a bow. Of course, female rainbows were very rare.

I always believed that you had to carry a little hammer in the car when driving through freezing fog. I just couldnt understand how else you would be able to contiue with your journey unless you smashed a little hole in the fog!

I knew about the weather balloon and how they let it go up into the sky but I use to believe that we knew what the weather was going to be like because God would put a sticky note or something on it and send it back down to the weather people.

I used to believe that at night, the dark clouds in the sky were actually monsters out to get me, causing much hiding behind the curtains.

Life was v difficult, considering I live in Manchester, England- where a clear sky is a rare occurence....

When I was little I used to beleive that when it rained it was actually angels taking baths and splashing water everywhere.

I used to believe that by whistling, the wind would blow harder...so up until the 5th grade when I found out this wasn't true, I kept on whistling and my friends would ask me what I was doing.

My wife looked out of our sunroof one day and said, "It's funny how they do that." I just said... "Do What?" And she said, "The Cloud makers!"...... She thought that airplanes were there to make clouds.

One cold windy day my teenage daughter asked me,"So Mom, is the windshield factor how cold your windshield gets when the air hits it or what?"

Anon

I used to believe that the clouds passing by was evidence that the world was spinning and that windy days meant the planet was spinning extra fast.

I was told by my Dad that I had to stay inside during a hurricane because the eye would spot me and come destroy the house. I think i was 14 when I stopped dreaming of this huge eye looking at me.

When I way little I use to think that rain was God crying. When my brother was little he thought it was God peeing. Compared the other kids, he REALLY hated being caught in the rain

I used to think that the trails that Airplanes left in the sky, that's how clouds were made.

My friend's daughter always thought we were talking about the "windshield factor" She couldn't understand how we could tell how cold it was using a windshield.

When I was little, I used to believe that the sun followed me everywhere, like a spy and moved willingly. When I got into the car I wanted this to be faster to escape from the sun and when I entered into the house looked out the window to see if it was gone ...

I used to call the rays of light from the sun "sun BEANS". That's what it sounded like to me.

when i was a kid, i used to sleep early in the night and wake up after the sun rose...so i used to believe that sun rises only after we wake up from sleep, and if we did not sleep in the night, there will not be the morning.

I thought rain was made when God was crying, and wind when God blew on the earth because it was too hot.

When I was a child I was absolutely terrified of tornados. (For good reason, of course). I thought a tornado was a nail- shaped cloud. It would come down out of a big cloud and pound into houses with one loud bang.. Up and down, up and down, going in a line, smashing each house individually. No wonder I was so terrified.
