When I Was A Stupid Kid - Queen of the Gnat

When I Was A Stupid Kid, I was engrossed by a crappy 1984 film called Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. I haven't seen the movie in a really long time, so I don't remember just how crappy.  All I know was that as a Stupid Kid (6 years old), I thought it was genius.

I watched the scantily clad Sheena (with her horse painted to look like a zebra), completely transfixed. I believed that I made a wish that day, a wish that I would someday grow up with perfect hair, skin and boobs, and I would live in the jungle free with my animal friends, just like Sheena.

Then came the part where Sheena uses her jungle mojo to summon animals to her aid.

"Wooooahhhhhhhh", I thought. NOW THAT WAS COOL.

OMG I just have to try!!! I've always had a way with animals. Maybe I AM A JUNGLE PRINCESS and just didn't know it!!  Maybe I'm just like Sheena!!

OK Tiff, just concentrate! Put your hands to your temples just like she did! You can do it! You can be a Jungle Princess!! Summon SOMETHING. ANYTHING!

Is anything coming my way yet???

and BAM, A gnat THWAKS me in the eyeball. That could only mean ONE THING.

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And that's how I discovered that I had the power to control animals, When I Was A Stupid Kid. (Too bad it was just a single-use gift).

So, what crazy TV or movie character did you pretend to be, when you were a Stupid Kid? Please comment and let me know your story!
