I used to believe that if you took a broom outside and said, "Star Light Star bright the first Star I see tonight I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight. I leaned the broom against a ladder and wished that it would become a flying broom. It never did (but I learned from a friend it was because I looked back for a second time at the star I'd made the wish on. That made the wish null and void.) I have yet to be able to NOT look at that star after I've made my wish.
