Raining while the sun was out: The devil is beating his wife!

I just want to know what people thought snow was... O.o

Oh my god my favorite one from my mom when I asked her why does my period hurt so much. Her response "because your body really, really wants a baby but when you have your period that means it has lost another chance and it is grieving."

I think she was just trying to be funny and make me feel better but every now and then I wonder if I agree with her...

I assume you mean aside from Santa, Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy.

If you crossed your eyes they'd stay that way. I'm 60, it hasn't happened yet so I'm still waiting.

Black cats being bad luck. Walking under a ladder being bad luck. Breaking a mirror being bad luck for 7 years. I remember breaking a mirror in approx 1985, dunno that my luck was any worse for the next 7 years than it ever was.

Thunder, angels bowling. Rain, angels crying. Lightning, God's angry at someone.

Not used as a serious explanation but along the lines of god bowling: the South has a few colorful expressions for weather like that. If there’s a thunderstorm or showers while most of the sky is still sunny it’s called “the devil beating his wife.” Just did some research n apparently Utah and Hungary use this expression too. Sometimes it’s said “the devil beating his wife with a walking stick” because he’s angry god created a beautiful day, and presumably the showers are her tears. ?‍? It’s not as funny when you realize people probably actually believed this shit at some point though.

If you saw a red cardinal, the spirit of someone you loved was nearby.

I was told that thunder is just God moving his furniture around.

Why the sea is salty. (God made a salt machine that accidently sank & never stopped working)

Married people who want children, just pray for them. That is how children are conceived.

Rainbow: gods promise to never end the world with water a la Noah.

Lightning is the sky cracking open to give you a glance into heaven; Dinosaur fossils came from pieces of planets smashing together to form earth; having babies makes God happy.....

I have lots of freckles and my mom told me they were "kisses from the angels"
Harmless, but weird nonetheless.

Never got those type explanations, at least none I remember.

Thunder - God's moving the furniture
