A childhood belief about general

When I was in the 3rd grade. There was a small farm house whose yard bordered my school. They had many animals, including ducks. I believed that I could talk to the ducks and was able to convince others that they were talking to me. I managed to use it this gift to my advantage. I told many of my more gullible classmates that the ducks wanted the desserts they brought in their lunch. they would give them to me and I would feed them to the ducks. Of course daily the ducks watched curiously as I walked up to the fence and emptied my pockets of twinkies and ho ho's and feasted in front of them.
