My parents had a decorative bottle that kind of looked like the one from "I dream of Jeannie." I believed that we had our own personal genie that lived inside and if I could ever get her to come out I could wish for lots of money and toys. I would always try to get the genie out but she never wanted to come out, so one day and I filled the bottle with water to see if she would float to the top. I never told my parents that I drowned our genie.
