I had to look that up, since I didn't know what that was. I have seen them, and then from replies I was reading, evidentally, parents told kids that storms were the potato wagons going over a bridge. Or, other potato wagon stories were told.
I never heard one. Do you know any?

@qualitygalI'd never heard that term - don't even remember seeing it in novels. Thanks for the little lesson. Interesting analogy.

We were told it was the angels up in heaven bowling. I still didn't like storms and to this day I still don't.

The "treatment" for fear of thunder storms when my MIL was a girl was to lock everyone into a closet sitting on wooden stools with their feet off the ground reciting the Rosary.
Don't know of anyome in the family who ever succumbed to a thunder storm but I can vouch for the fact that mental health issues ran rampant.
