When I was about five or six, my sister and her friend convinced me that I was a witch. I didn't believe them at first but they gave me all kinds of tests to show that I was. One was that I had to blow o ut a magic candle. They said that only witches could blow out the magic candle, and I could.
Then I went around casting 'spells' on all my classmates. This went on for almost a month until my mom noticed me saying funny words at the bushes in my backyard because I was trying to turn them into animals. She told me witches weren't real.
