Once I read a Goosebumps book (by R.L. Stine) in which a girl finds some secret ingrediant as well as the recipe and spell for a dough which you eat for flying powers. After I read it, I was convinced that if I got the ingrediants/recipe correct (dough ingrediants except the secret powder which came with the book) then I could make the dough and get to fly.
Of course, I spent months wishing I had that powder. Unfortunately I never found it, but I'm secretly still waiting for MY copy of that book. lol.
A childhood belief about special powers

- I used to believe if you read a book in the dark, you would go blind.— Ellen
- I read in a book that if you ever swallowed toothbrush bristles then you would get appendicitus!— Amy
- When ever someone said ''read aloud'' I assumed aloud was the title of a book. Lol.— Delaney
