A childhood belief about vampires

When I was about 9 I was thoroughly convinced that I was a vampire. I would run around the playground with my arms out wide, practising flying for when I was old enough to be able to turn into a bat...haha.
I told one of my friends about that and she asked if she was anything other than human, too. I told her to bare her teeth and 'seeing sharp canines' told her that she was, in fact, part werewolf.
We would go around the playground practising for when we got older. She would sprint and howl and I would hiss and 'fly'.
Even when I moved schools, a year later, a kid who had come from the same school and was a grade below told me about the teacher who remembered 'two crazy kids who thought they were a vampire and a werewolf'.
Haha.
