8. My friend and I used to pretend that we were witches

We had a five-foot ruler in my house and that was our broomstick. Also, we would dress up in towels - which obviously made us look like witches. We would go all around the house and garden, pretending to cast spells.

I also used to pretend to be a teacher, with whoever was around serving as a pupil. On a couple of occasions, my dad obligingly served as my pupil 'Peter' and I wrote a report card for him: 'SUMS: Peter is bad at sums (not true!). READING AND GEOGRAPHY: Peter is very good at both'; etc.

I also seem to remember pretending to be an astronaut going to the moon or Mars.
