A childhood belief about cartoons

When I was little, like in about 2nd grade I think... my friend and I thought if we actually put Sugar, Spice, and everything nice into a pot and stirred it up, we could really make the Powerpuff Girls. So one night she was spending the night at my house and when my parents went to bed, we took a huge pot out of my cabinet and poured water into it. Then we poured about 5 cups of suger in, and then we took the spices out of the cabinet and shook them all in, and then we didn't really know what to put for "everything nice" so we drew nice things on paper and cut them out and dropped them in there. We mixed it up and my friend goes, "Aw man we're stupid. We forgot the chemical X!!" So.. we didn't really know how to get chemical X... so we put some dark blue food coloring in some water and labeled it "Chemical X." And we put in a drop. So then we mixed it and put it under my bed. The next day we were dissapointed that the powerpuff girls never showed up.Although my friend said it was because my window was open and they probably flew out. [[Also... I kinda forget about the "potion" under my bed. And a few weeks later my mom walked in... "What is that awful smell?!?"]]
