My father was evil.
I used to watch the Wonder Woman live-action TV show, and when the show was over, I would spin around in the livingroom, like Wonder Woman did, thinking if I spun fast enough, I met get her swimsuit, the truth-telling lasso, and all her outfit.
Dad would encourage me while mother would scold him. "Keep spinning! Faster! I think I see the lasso!" "Gayle! Stop that! You'll make her so dizzy she'll get sick!" "I see the tiara! Keep going!"
I'd spin until I fell over onto the couch and couldn't stand up straight, and he'd tell me he was sure I'd get it next time. I totally believed him.
