For me, the way to understanding convolutions was to to put sample rand(0, 1) a bunch of times and bucket the samples, then plot the number of samples in a bucket. You get a more-or-less flat graph. Now if you add or multiply two variables, you get different shapes. Once you spent enough effort on trying to understand why, you derive convolutions.
