I'm reading "Regarding Ducks and Universes" by Neve Maslakovic. It's kind of light sci-fi about parallel universes. A scientist split the universe in 1986 - "Y Day" - and anyone born before that day has an "alter" in the other universe. Each universe developed along a series of different history changing events, so they're similar in some ways but very different in others. You can travel between the two universes through a kind of molecular exchange device, and the protagonist does this in order to secretly snoop on his "alter" - which is against the law. Very good so far!

Here's something that I learned as a child. Thunder is the sound clouds make when they bump into each other. I swear my mother told me that. Why, oh why would she have done that? Sadly, I believed her for years.

Though I also believed people who told me I had scary big muscles when I was five years old.
