special powers

I used to believe that if you ate too many carrots, your eyes would get so good that you could see through your eyelids when you tried to sleep at night.

When I was little, I had a small change purse, and I was convinced that when I swam, breathing into in would let me breath underwater. Needless to say, it didn't work out a lot.

I use to have a fascination with being able to fly. One evening when I was about 10, I was convinced I actually took flight and flew off the ground at least 1 foot. I bragged about it later to my family.

Another time years later, I asked my dad what would he do if, I started flying up into the sky? He said he would have to shoot me down. I thought I would die laughing.

You know when you stare at the sun or a light source, you see spots when you look away? I thought that those spots were ghosts. The first time it happened I thought the spots were ghosts coming to get me. I screamed and yelled for my mom and she came running. When I told her what was wrong, she said there was nothing wrong and she couldn't see any ghosts. When she left I remember feeling deeply concerned because only I had the ability to see ghosts, and that I would have to be quiet about seeing these horrifying things because no one else could and they'd think I was crazy. I took on this "burden" very seriously for a child of 5...

For some reason I used to believe that if I turned myself around 360 degrees that somehow the world would be different so I would try to correct myself if I accidentally turned in one spot too much

I believed that I could "tightrope walk" across the footboard of my bed, without falling, if I held in each hand one of the plaster angel plagues my aunt made me. I fell and broke the angels.

I used to believe that I could breath underwater. I would wait until I ran out of air and then drink some pool water, and my body would absorb the oxygen and allow me to stay under longer.

I used to think that capes made people fly.

when i was about 6 i had a pair of Batman underpants, so one day i decided that if i go out side in nothing but them, hold a balloon for extra support, and jump off my swingset, the Batman underpants would somehow activate their Batman powers and i would be able to fly.
I attempted this about 9 times until my dad came outside, being very confused, asked what i was doing, and when i told him, laughed for about a minute, and kept chuckling here and there for about a day everytime he thought about it

That if I got a new pair of sneakers I could run and feel like I was flying :)

When I was in highscool I had almost the entire school beleiving I could control events. One of my friends always feared that he was going to fail an upcoming test and would ask me to postpone the test. I told him that in order for the test to be postponed he would need to eat a slice of pizza by stuffing it into his mouth without biting it. Amazingly enough the test was postponed and I gained the nick name "Kapn Kaos". To this day I use this nick name in mmo games and forums as my screen name.

When I was younger my brothers used to tell me if I pressed the circle on the bottom of my Nike sneakers jets would come out and I could fly. They told me not to do it though because I might crash.

J-Cin

When I was little some older girls (I can't remember who) came over to my house and they could run really fast. Me and my next door neighbour were amazed, when we ask what made them run fast they told us that keeping your hands open (like a karate chop) made you run fast then clenching them in a fist, because you cut through the air. Very Aerodynamic - not quite enough to run like the flash tho... mind you I still do that today when I'm sprinting!

I used to believe that I had the power to control what people thought and said. I used to ask questions that I knew the answer to and be extremely amazed when I mouthed their answer along with them... There were a few times I remember mouthing entire sentences though, of course, I was 6 or 7 at the time and that is probably the result of an overactive imagination.

Gabe

i believed that if i ran straight at something very fast, that i could watch time slow own as i approached it and that i could stop time or as long as i liked befoe letting my percepion slow again to hit it.

got lots of bruises, but it didn't matter because i could sto time.

when i was about 3 or 4 my parents told me that i could turn on the light in the living room by telling it to. and so whenever i told the light to go on they would run into the other room and turn on the light.

When i was a little kid i used to believe that if i didnt look down that i could walk across air like in the cartoons. One day i tried this and fell after walking off of a big tunnel on a playground by my house.

JK

I used to believe that I could hover down stairs. I still have very vivid memories of being able to do it. Unfortunatly, I lost the power at the age of 6 after falling down them and hitting my head.....

Superman

i didn't beleive this, but a kid my sister knew thought if he screamed in a really high voice, he ran faster.

Anon

I used to believe that Superman got his powers from wearing a cape. Anyway, that's why I was always tying a beach towel around my neck and running around the house like a crazy person.
