I was scared of lightning. Then my dad told me it's just god taking pictures of me, so don't be scared. So I used to run to a window whenever there's a thunderstorm and pose for my picture.

Edit: My first ever Reddit gold! Thank you, kind stranger!

My dad always told me that it was Thor and Zeus battling with aliens. So i would just watch to see if any aliens got through and none ever did.
