A childhood belief about physics

I went for a short time as a child beleiving that I should be able to support myself on something I was holding up: take a metal pole, hold it behind your back horizontally, crouch slightly as if sitting on it then try to lift your feet off the ground. Even though I tried and failed, I was convinced I just wasn't doing it right.
