After watching the film Splash a few too many times when I was little I spent ages laying in the bath, holding the shower over my legs, willing them to become a tail. After about the 4th or 5th time It occurred to me - what would I do if
they did change? I wouldn't be able to swim anywhere so I stopped.
A childhood belief about special powers
others believed things like this

- I spent ages wondering what a bart ender was as a child without realising that it was actually bar tender.— Heather
- When I was younger, I wanted to marry Willie Nelson so I wouldn't have to change my name.— stacy
