My best friend and I both believed that we could breathe underwater. I still do actually; she's grown up... well, technically we both have but she lost her imagination. Anyway.
Whenever we would go to the beach together, or sometimes the pool, we'd practice breathing in the water... weird thing is, neither of us ever drowned or anything, we'd stay underwater for minutes at a time.
