special powers

I thought I had X-ray vision and could talk to animals and they could understand me.

I believed I could fly if I ran around fast enough and flapped my arms hard enough and jumped high enough eventually I would be able to soar into the skies.

When I was ten, I started to notice the little bits of dust in the air floating everywhere. I was completly convinced I could see air.

My dad had this way of whistling that I never could master. He said he was whistling 'through his teeth.' I pictured him having these tiny holes in his teeth that I didn't have, and that's why he could whistle through his teeth and I could not.

When I was little my stepfather and I used to play karate but without actually knowing any karate. I thought I was so good because I could beat him up that I then went around telling the other kids I knew karate and could fight grown ups. So one day one of the kids decided to test my skills. He kicked my ass and I was shocked to learn that I didn't actually know karate.

When I was about 4, I had a dream that I was flying all over the house. The next day when I woke up, I kept jumping off of all the furniture trying to fly. I eventually concluded that the furniture was too low to jump off of, so i managed to climb onto the roof. We can all guess what happened next...the neighbors still think I'm tottally and completely nuts...i hang out on my roof now with my friends...they all peer out their windows just to make sure I don't have another trip to the hospital...oopsies

I CAN FLY!

I used to believe that when I squinted at a light these light beams (think light sabers) were shooting out toward me and that I was the only person in history able to do that.

I used to beleive that if you ran really fast before jumping into a pool you could walk on water. i spent hours just trying and trying till my mom told me it was impossible.

I had a recurring dream as a child that I could breathe through my ears under water, something like gills. I spent hours on the bottom of the swimming pool trying to prove it (obviously only a minute or two at a time!). I was very disappointed when I found I couldn't.

When I was 6, my friend told me that her dad could walk from planet to planet. I imagined her 70 year old dad making big steps from one planet to another and I could not understand how such a small man could do so. Obviously, I did not put much thought into it, but I became really afraid of my friend's dad from then on.

Once, while carrying a bowl of snacks and a glass of soda to my room, I believed I could actually drop the glass, reach into the bowl and grab a snack, eat the snack, then catch the glass and take a drink, everything perfectly unharmed. (I was 7.) I dropped the glass and took a snack and ate it. Then, I reached for the glass, but it was too late. The glass shattered upon the floor and I was grounded.

I used to belive if someone liftes you up, and you lift them at the same time, you will float in the air.

When I was younger I did gymnastics. One day I firmly believed that I could forward-roll my way up the stairs. I tried it, only to roll fast back down again and bash my head really hard on the wall at the bottom. Boy, did that hurt.
