Did you ever notice that when you're a child you do something that is called magical thinking (or something meaning the same, I can't remember my psych for the very life of me). Basically it's wishing so hard for something it comes true. Or playing games on your way home. Things like: if I don't step on a single crack in the pavement something good will happen.

When you grow older people tell you, no it isn't so, you won't get that stereo just by wishing for it, you can't heal someboy by placing your hands on their body, no, you can't wish real hard to make something happen. It's somehow like being told there is no easter bunny and no Santa Claus. And you believe them, because it's common sense.

Then again you grow older and you see coincidences, events you dismiss. You may read some books about how to wish for something so hard that you will receive it. And it strikes home, because somehow you know. Somehow you knew all along.
