One childhood belief I had was that lightning was caused by something like a giant flash bulb going off in the sky. I thought it was just a big camera taking pictures of the world. It wasn’t until I learned about electricity and weather patterns in school that I realized how wrong I was! It’s funny to look back on now and see how our imaginations can create such vivid stories to explain things we don’t understand. What about you? Any childhood misconceptions that surprised you when you learned the truth?
