I used to believe that my father could make it stop raining, because one day he stepped outside during a hawaiian shower and said "I command you to stop" Low and behold the rain stopped. Of course now that I live in Hawaii, I realize that he had a 75/25 chance that it would stop, as our showers are short!
But for many years, I was a true believer!
A childhood belief about special powers
