The craziest thing that I believed as a child is that when the sun is shining and raining, the devil is beating his wife. I remember getting close to the ground and putting a glass upside down with my ear on the bottom side listening for the devil’s wife voice, who was suppose to be hollering. I actually thought I heard her! Now, wasn’t that crazy!
The craziest thing I believed as a child was something my dad said to my younger brother. We were on the beach, and a thunderstorm rolled in fast. We were walking back to the beach house that my parents had rented, and my brother started running. MY dad told my brother to stop and walk calmly, as the lightning could sense his fear and would be more likely to strike us. I believed it for several years and finally realized dad was just trying to keep my brother within eyesight as the rain was just pouring down with little visibility.
Now, this is a good one! I’ve never heard of it before, but I like it. I just might use this one with my great niece! She likes to run! It just might slow her down! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing and for your participation!
