special powers

when i was 8 years old my brothers told me "if i try hard enough i could do anything" so... we were at my grandmothers house where i decided i could fly. i got up on her couch and jump up then smack! on the ground. i was rather confused, but ok.

When I was little I belived that all I had to do was run around this plant in my yard 5 times and flap my arms.Then I'd become airborne.I tried and it didn't work.Duh....And when I had dreams that I could do it,I kept trying.Which I finally came to the realization of the fact that it won't work.(I was 4 people!Can't blame me!)

When I was little (until about five) I was obsessed with flying. I put my heart and soul into the dream that one day I would be able to finish my training--taping feathers onto my arms and buttocks, then jumping off stuff--and soar off into the sky.

When I was younger, I used to believe I was invisible. Every time I would turn "invisible" I would tell everyone around me they couldn't see me. Never dawned on me WHY they couldn't see me

Just call me Jill

I acutally used to think I could fly. I would jump to one kitchen chair to the next and shout for my mom to come and watch me. but once I finally fell off one of the chairs, I realized this was not true.

I used to believe that if I looked at something without blinking for a long time, I could move it. Of course, when I tried I couldn't keep my eyes open for more than a few seconds. I also believed that if you jumped off of something and flapped your arms like a bird you would fly. I, being the small idiot I was, tried this with my tree in the front of my apartment. The end result was back pains. Luckily, the tree was only three feet off the ground.

I used to think that if you made funny shadows during a storm blackout you'd lose it and if you didn't have a shadow you'd die.

When I was little, I used to believe I could magically appear in Chicago if I completely covered myself in a sheet on my mom's bed and then spun around and around with the sheet on me. Then I'd take the sheet off my head and I'd ask my mom if I was in Chicago yet.

TB Samurai

When I was about 3 I thought I could fly. I was going to be a witch for Halloween and all the witches on television could fly. So why couldn't I? I too my broom and my witch hat and jumped off the counter in the kitchen. Needless to say, I learned I couldn't fly the hard way.

Fallen

I used to believe I was the fastest boy in the world because I once crossed a large gym in four seconds(honestly!)and all these people were wondering how I went that fast.I was 10. Now I feel like I feel like I'm gonna get a heart attack whenever I run that fast.

Barry Allen

I used to think that some how I could control the weather depending on my emotions, and some times, when I was really upset that the wind would try to comfort me...at least it was fun!

Silence

I used to think I had the ability of telekinesis (moving objects with your mind). I don't know why I thought this, but one day I invited my friend over and tried to show her. Obviously, I couldn't do it. I just told her my powers weren't working.

Robyn

I used to believe I had x-ray vision because I could see through objects like my hand if I brought it close to my face. Of course, it was just because it was only covering one eye! Durrr!

HarryTheHound

I used to believe I could "turn off" my nose at will when there was a nasty smell. I was just breathing through my mouth, but I didn't think anyone else could do it!

My parents always told me that anything was possible if i tried hard enough. Combining that thought with my new knowledge about evolution and how species ajust themselves to the surroundings, i figured that if i walked backwards to school every day, eyes would grow out of my neck. I did that for weeks, but i didn't tell anyone because i wanted it to be a surprise. To my disappointment i couldn't feel anything grow in my neck, so i finally asked my dad how long evolution normally takes. 1000 years sounded a bit too much for me, so i gave it up and went back to my life planting candy in the garden "because how do you know it won't grow if no one has ever tried it before".

that if I flapped my arms hard enough, I could get airborne.

I was absolutely convinced that when I held my hand in front of only one eye and left both eyes open, I acquired x-ray vision and could see through my own hand.

A few friends and I were under the impression that we could make the wind blow, whenever we wanted. There was a wooded area with a dirt hill.. and if we sat on the hill and thought real hard about wind blowing, it would blow. Hmm.. the fact that it was Autumn wasn't considered.

A Wild Cowgirl

When I was maybe 4 or 5 years old, I got one of those helium balloons from somewhere. On the way home, we stopped to visit my grandma and while I was going in, I accidentally let go of the balloon and it flew off into the sky. I was quite distraught, and I begged my grandma to go inside, get her wings (which was actually an apron she always wore) and fly to get my balloon. She insisted she didn't have wings, but I knew the truth.
