When I was a little girl, I used to believe I could die because of a cream. My dad had told me so because I had to put cream on my feet and I wanted to put this cream in my mouth.
Growing up I realized it was a flammable cream

when i was a kid I used to believe that my mother always knew what i was thinking about. It was scary but then I thought that if she was able to do it, me too, but i would need to let time pass because I thought that this ability was developed with years of training.

I used to believe that if I held a blanket or towel across my back like wings I would be able to use them to fly. After it didn't work, I decided I just wasn't doing it right so I practiced flying all the time. It didn't quite go how I thought it would.
