For about 4 years(from age 5 to age 9), my best friend and I believed we could fly. So for a LONG time, we tried everything; jumping off staircases, jumping from trees, running and flapping our arms, heck, we even tried collecting feathers(which we were going to tie and strap to our arms)! Finally he moved away, and we stopped 'flying'.
