A childhood belief about special powers

When I was a very young child, I saw Peter Pan for the first time and was marveled on how Wendy and her brothers and Peter Pan would fly and wished I could fly too. Then, I went to Disneyland and in one of the gift shops they were selling bottles of fake pixie dust and my mom bought one for me. So, in my childhood innocence, I thought the pixie dust was real and if I poured it on me I would fly like the kids and Peter Pan in the movie. So, I sprinkled the whole lot on me and thought happy thoughts like Peter Pan had said in the movie. I was sorely dissopointed when it didn't work. For awhile, I thought that I wasn't doing it right. lol
