I noticed there was always a gust of wind after cars passed, so I concluded wind was caused by invisible cars driving by. Storms were caused by the invisible drivers driving too fast.

I used to go outside during storms and yell at them to slow down. I was convinced it was working.

This is what living in a city does to a mfer. Everyone knows its the trees swinging their branches makes the wind.

lol, never even been to a real city in my entire life. Literally the most populated place I've ever been to doesn't even crack a population of 50k people, and the most populated place I ever lived was a tenth of that. Been a small town girl my whole life.

Definitely heard the trees thing as a kid though, I'd just already been told that trees were being blown around by the wind, but nobody could tell me that cars were being blown around by the wind I felt when I saw them, so that's why I concluded it must be the cars that were responsible for the wind.
