Once when i was fairly young, my family and i were in Hawaii. We were spending the day on a beutiful beach and i asked my mom if i could take a picture. She told me to take a picture with my mind. So, for a while, I thought that I could take a picture when i blinked. After I died, God and i would walk along a beach and a slide show of all my "pictures" would play in the sky.

I have the oddest memory from when I was about 3 years old and in a crib (yes I remember that far back!):
When I was 3, this is how my bed time schedule worked: Mom comes in, kisses me and says she'll see me in the morning. Dad comes in, gives me Teddy Grahms, and kissed me good night. Well one night I decided I didn't want to sleep. So i closed my eyes really tight and wished that it'd be morning (Which took about 5 seconds) as soon as I opened my eyes again, my mom came in my room and said "Wow, last night went fast huh?" I thought that I actually changed the night to day!

I used to think that new shoes had special powers to make you run faster. I remember going to a family reunion at a park with lots of hills. And I had a brand new pair of shoes. I would run down the hills racing my cousins and was so proud of how fast my new shoes would make me go.

A couple years back there use to be a tv show called, Lambchops. So I'd watch it everyday at the same time. One day the show was about believing in something hard enough and it will happen. The lady tried to demonstrate to the viewers by saying if she concentrated on flying it would happen, and on the show she did (her feet lifted off the ground about an inch).....WELL this really screwed up my way of life. I can't even remember all the countless hours I spent for years as a child trying to get my feet lifted off the ground...I use to think there was a special trick to it or something!!

In grade school as I became interested in girls, I thought that if I concentrated hard enough I could get a message of love into a pretty girl's head. This idea had me staring at some girls which probably freaked them out. Maybe my dating years would have been better without this bad start.

I used to believe that if you jumped off your bed and flapped your arms efficiently you had to be capable of achieving lift and could thoretically, yet briefly, sustain flight over your bedroom.
Unfortunatley, this only worked a few times in my dreams and the actual realtime simulation attemps accumulating around age 9 were unfortunately completely unsucessfull....I started exercising more after that because I calculated that I (my body) was the only possible reason my attempt at flight had failed this time...(next" part II - I did it - my room looks so big from up here! :> )

When I was around 5 or 6 years old I set to work selecting gravel and hairs from my dog and cat. I took my ingredients and mixed them with some water in a coke can. I seriously considered the implications if I followed through with my experiment. I thought that this concoction would mutate me, combining the properties of each ingredient. I imagined myself years from now as a part dog/cat/rock superhero-creature. I came to the conclusion it was the right thing to do. I poured the mix over my head in the shower, and needless to say was a bit disapointed.
When younger,while watching a thriller; in which a cop happened to remark:that the intended victim(a blindman)had an unfair advantage - he could see in the dark.Hence I took it as granted that all blind people could see in the dark...

when i was younger i used to love storm from x men because of her ability to fly and create weather change and somehow i thought that by staring at the sun long enough i would eventually become the goddess of the sun and cause weather changes too!

When I was about six or seven I remember running up to my dad and asking him how fast he thought I'd been moving. I heard "60 miles an hour". Can you imagine how proud I was? I boasted this to every kid in the playground over the next few months!
It was only a few years later - once we'd started looking at velocity at school - that I realised he must have said "six" not "sixty"...

I used to believe that i had the special power of controlling traffic lights.
When i was 7 or 8 I thought I was able to turn traffic lights from red to green by clenching my jaw for 5 seconds.
After I found out that my special powers were no longer working I figured that I had unconciously traded them for the special powere to change the shape of clouds

Having read 'Matilda' when I was younger, I used to believe I could move things just by looking at them hard enough. One time I was in a church choir and at one practice all the parents came to watch. I put my umbrella on the edge of the stage and sat glaring at it as hard as I could, not singing, until my face went bright red, and the singing teacher (who was wearing a microphone) stopped everything to ask me: "Are you alright? Do you need to go to the toilet?"
I have never been so humiliated...

I used to believe that if you brushed your teeth enough, they would shine so brightly it would cause a supernova and then you could turn into a mermaid. (I was obsessed with mermaids at the time and really wanted to be one.) I spent hours at a time brushing my teeth and got really disappointed when nothing happened.

I used to believe that if I jumped off of my swingset holding an open umbrella, I would fly like Mary Poppins. Good thing I made my little brother try it out first.

When I was about 8, I had this crazy thought that if I stayed in the bathtub long enough, I would turn into a mermaid.

i used to think that my parents could read my mind, and if i thought of something dirty when i was sitting next to them, they would know it, and just not say anything to see if i would think about anymore strange things
I use to believe that If I held my super bouncy ball tight spin around 3 times that I was invisible I use to sneak up on my brother and smack him in the head I never got in trouble because I was invisible muh ha ha

I once believed that the more birds I could scare away, my invisible "FLY METER" would fill up and I would have enough power to fly. I found out crow's and sea gulls gave me more power (2 or 3 cm.).
