I was about 4 and the first Superman was shown on TV. After the film finished, I thought I could fly like Superman. So I got onto the coffee table then 'flew' off. Then I knew I couldn't fly as my face got caught up in the gas fire grill (it was off at the time) and cut my face in several places, which one of these has turned into a noticeable scar under my lip.
