For a a while when I waas maybe seven or something I thought I could "communicate" with dogs.
A year and a half after getting over that (I got over it "speaking dog" when I was 8) I thought I was a werewolf and could accidentilly turn into at any moment.

in second grade my teacher told me the class that the other teacher, for the other class had special powers and that someday she would show us. I believed that till I was in fourth grade.

When I was a little girl, I always wanted to do everything my big brothers did but they didn't want a baby sister tagging along. My grandmother told me that if I could kiss my elbow I would become a boy just like them. I tried for YEARS to reach that elbow with my lips pursed just right ... only to learn later that it was physically impossible and just a little something grandmother invented to ease my hurt and, by then, boys liked me for being a girl. ; -) Thanks, gran!

Once, when I was 8, I told my Mom about this weird experience I had where the exact same thing happened to me twice. She explained that it hadn't happened twice, but that I had déjà vu. The next day at school, I told all of my friends that I had this weird French disease that made me get stuck in time and repeat things I'd already done.

When I was very, very young, my parents would try to amuse me at the breakfast table. Using the Kix cerial I was eating and some simple slight of hand, they proclaimed that I was making the Kix come out of my belly-button. Little did they know that besides amusing me, they also had me convinced of this special power. I went on believing that I could make Kix emerge from my navel for several years.

I used to think that if I ate grass, I could fly. I'm sure I decided this after watching birds. I ate alot of grass but not enough apparently.

My grandma used to tell me that I was a miracle baby because of problems my mom had. I took this literally and thought I had wings that no one else could see.

When I was young I wasn't the most popular girl in school and I thought the popular people could read my mind so they didn't like me for my thoughts. Soon I began thinking popular thoughts all the time like "I can wait to go to the mall today." and "Me and my boyfriend kissed yestreday" and "I wonder if i left my Cell on." stuff like that. Turns out they didnt have super powers but their parents VISA cards.

So silly!

I used to think I was the only one who could hear the electrical hum created by turning on the television, radio, microwave, etc. I believed I was special because I could tell from several rooms away if someone had turned on an appliance. I one day confided in my dad about my secret ability to hear electricity. Rather than dispel the myth, he pretended he had no idea what I was talking about and insisted there was no such thing. When I started school and was placed in the “Academically Gifted and Talented” class I believed this was actually a special class for kids with exceptional abilities like mine – something along the lines of Dr Xavier’s School for the Gifted in the X-Men comic.

you know when you squint and light that is far away looks like little rays? I used to believe I had a special power to see light from far away. I would sit in the front seat with my mom as she was driving and tell her when cars were coming from what I perceived as an extreme distance. If the car arrived shortly, I just thought the car was moving extra fast.

When I was younger, I would grow quite bored very often and stare and things and if I was at the right angle it would look like I could see through them. And so I went around and boasted that I had X-ray vision for quite a long time actually.

Well I was about 5y.o when I took my sisters baby blanket and tied it around my neck. I believed if Batman Could fly I could.
I stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor. I said DADA DADA DA Batman and jumped. Needless to say I recieved stitches in my head cause I couldn't fly. It's funny now, not then.
I'm 42 and still rememberm it.

when i was younger, i used to think that i could fly. my playground had a hill by one side of it, and for ages all i did was run off the edge of the playground and launch myself into mid air, and obviously fall to the ground. it was only when some even younger children, laughed at me for doing so, that i stopped *blush*
