special powers

When I was a year old, I believed if I hid my face, my mother couldn't see me because I couldn't see her.

I used to believe that, since the only major visible difference between Superman and any other person was the cape, that his powers came as a result from that. I was also pretty sure that that tight feeling in my stomach that happened if I tripped a little going down the stairs quickly was what flying felt like.

So, putting two and two together, I thought that if I had enough speed and tripped going down the stairs while wearing my Superman cape from Halloween, I could sustain the flight indefinitely like Superman himself.

Luckily I was always too scared to really try it.

When I was little I used to believe my dad could grow a beard at will. That he could go upstairs fully shaven and come down and have a full beard.

I used to believe that I could fly. No reason behind it, I just really thought I could and that I had to keep it a complete secret.

You know the rays of light that you can see when you look at a lightbulb and squint your eyes? Well, when I was little I used to think those beams of light were the light's powers and if I held my hands up to it, their power/energy would be transfered to me. I stopped doing this when my aunt asked me what I was doing in front of everyone. xD

When I was little, one of my favorite movies was Kiki's Delivery Service. I used to think I was a witch just like Kiki, and I kept trying to fly on a broom. I thought it didn't work because my powers hadn't developed yet.

After I heard about dog whistles, I tried to see how high I could make my voice go. To my surprise, I could go up to a certain pitch and suddenly I couldn't go any higher- I thought I could make sound that was too high for a human to hear. I wen't around bragging about not needing dog whistles, and I didn't stop until I realized how stupid I must seem, based on peoples reactions.

I believed that when I was in the shower and I pressed really hard against my eyes for ages with my fists that when I opened my eyes I could briefly see into the "other realm" where there were Ghosts and such.

Unfortunatly I never saw any Ghosts in my bathroom and by the time I had ran out of the bathroom to see if there were Ghosts in any other part of the house my eyes had returned to normal. I'm not sure why I never tried doing that outside of the shower.

i belive till 7 years old that my father see throught the walls (he know what I done when he back from work,). I never think that my mum told him what i was doing.

Ok I still belive this sometimes and I'm 14 now but since i was probably 4 or I've belived that the adults in my family could read anyones mind. And I thought that it was like our family secret (like off of sabrina the teenage witch) and i would learn how to do it when i got older.

Waiting for the red pill

I used to believe that if children weren't in bed by 7 o'clock, the wolf, the fox and the bear could come to your house and take you, even if you were hiding and/or your parents wanted to keep you.

When I was little, I believed that IF I BELIEVED HARD ENOUGH, I could fly! I tried many times, (mostly jumping into snowbanks from several feet up, so I wouldn't hit the hard ground). and fell down as many. I concluded that I just wasn't believing in myself enough. I spent many hours trying to figure how how to believe harder. Never worked.

I used to think that if you poked both buttcheeks at the same time, they would turn into superman and fly away.

Bum

I used to believe that I could figure out about different people, dead or alive, by talking to the leaves on the trees.
