When I was little I used to believe I could control the direction of the wind. I called myself 'Wind Girl'. I didn't realise how funny that is until later on.

There was a ledge outside my house that my cousin and I would climb upon, flap our arms and yell "Peter Pan, Peter Pan, teach my how to fly!" It was a constant disappointment when we landed on the pavement. This went on for some time. We just thought he wasn't listening.

My daughter was always trading her lunches at school for less healthy snack foods... On day I casually mentioned ato her that most mommies had a special power called "Mommy Radar" and if she lied to me, I'd turn it on and know if she was lying or not...

I then asked her if she ate all her lunch up, and she said YES... I asked her if she ate all HER lunch up, or did she trade it, and she said NO... she ate it all up. I then told her I was gonna turn on MY "Mommy Radar" and see if she was telling me the truth, and she started to cry and told me she had atually traded her sandwich for a Jello Pudding pack.

I actually KNEW shedidn't eat her sandwich because there was no sandwich wrapper in her lunch bag, but for years, she thought I had "Mommy Radar" LOL!!!

When I was about 3 or 4, we lived in the country on a farm and my Dad would "shoot out the stars" for years I belived that my Dad DID in fact have the power to shoot out the stars...when I was about 12 I found out that he was just firing a tracer bullet from his rifle...

When I was a kid my mother had a necklace that had black/ smokey quartz stone as a pendent and when you held it to your eye you could see light and shadows enhanced. I believed that if you looked through my mothers necklace then you could see all the evil in the world and that it was the only time that the evil couldn't see you.

I have a cousin who lives in Perth, Australia. When I was seven, I got the idea of visiting her into my head, but of course I didn't have enough money. One day I was watching Mary Poppins, and the idea came into my head- why not fly on an umbrella? So next thing I knew, I was standing at the top of a hill at my school, looking forward to seeing Australia. One broken umbrella and several cuts and bruises later, I was disillusioned.

Once I read a Goosebumps book (by R.L. Stine) in which a girl finds some secret ingrediant as well as the recipe and spell for a dough which you eat for flying powers. After I read it, I was convinced that if I got the ingrediants/recipe correct (dough ingrediants except the secret powder which came with the book) then I could make the dough and get to fly.
Of course, I spent months wishing I had that powder. Unfortunately I never found it, but I'm secretly still waiting for MY copy of that book. lol.

Because of 'Star Wars', I, for a short time, thought that if I concentrated, I could move things with the force.

All Your Belief Are Belong To Us

i clearly recall thinking that i could control the sun with the power of a stone - by holding it up to the sky and shouting "come out!"

i actually got a couple of my playground friends doing it too. pretty cloudy windy day i guess!

when i was little, i had a great sense of memory and i had alot of deja vu's so i used to think i was pshychic and my older brother actually relied on me to tell the future. of course, when we got older he was in a bad mood and told me off.... and my parents just thought i was a little girl making things up to get attention... but i always thought i had magical powers untill i learned what deja vu's were.

When my brother went to his karate lessons I would go outside and play. Once I grabbed a big stick I found and said to the plants there, 'Sway in the wind, my minions, sway!' and then it got really windy and I believed I had magic powers! I belived this for a while but then I belived I could control the sun whenever I said 'move' in my mind!

Element Gal

I used to believe that if I held a blanket or towel across my back like wings I would be able to use them to fly. After it didn't work, I decided I just wasn't doing it right so I practiced flying all the time. It didn't quite go how I thought it would.

I used to believe that the red dot on Indian people's foreheads meant that they had psychic powers.

I believed I could tap dance by moving my feet real fast.

I used to believe that if enough people would stare at a single point in, say, a brick wall for long enough, they could collectively burn a hole through that wall.

When I was very young my father told me that if you kissed your elbow you would change into the opposite sex. He said that that was why he was a boy now. I believed him! I tried for a long time to kiss my elbow. I now realize that the female sex is superior!

I truly believed that if a friend and I both laid on the floor in a straight line with the soles of our feet touching, we could walk straight up into the air. I'd pick up my right foot and my friend would pick up her left, then we'd just be able to "walk" up as far as we'd like. (It never did work.)

I had a blackboard when I was 4-5 and believed if I saved up enough chalkdust, I could sprinkle it on myself and would be able to fly.
