​Did you have an imaginary friend as a small child?Tell us about them if you are willing...

 

[C'est Moi]

No imaginary friends. But I always had a dog to talk to.

No imaginary friends. But I did have some other nutty ideas.

For example I had a plan of how I was going to get rich when I grew up.

I got the idea after watching a magician show.

My plan was that when I grew up I would get myself a million dollars (that was a lot back then) in play money and a gun.

Then I would find me a magician and force him at gun point to change the million in play money into real money.

It didn't work out.

My teddy bear was a very good listener

No.

I saw a movie about an imaginary friend called Drop Dead Fred. It was pretty funny.

I had a whole family of imaginary friends who lived behind the woodwork. They would travel throughout the house by following the woodwork and the door jambs.

I was a strange little child.

 

[RadishRose]

Imaginative, I would say Jujube.

 

[Marie5656]

Not really, which surprises me as I was a bit of a loner as a kid.

So, you had The Borrowers living in your house? Cool.

When I was very young and went from my crib to a bed, I guess my Mom thought I'd fall out and I remember having bars on both sides of the bed. 2 of the bars became my friends and I named them. One was named bar,not very original, and the other was just a group of sounds I can't even spell. Each night I'd talk to my two friends before falling asleep.

 

[Sassycakes]

My friends were my dolls being able to talk to me. They would say "Comb my Hair" and I would spend hours fixing their hair,except for my one infant doll because she didn't have hair so I fed her a bottle. They were really good friends.

 

[RadishRose]

Somehow, I decided that the wood grain patterns of our sliding closet doors looked like ghosts. That bothered me for awhile.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I didn't have an imaginary sidekick but I had a vivid imagination and could create my own fantasy world coming up with various adventures and escapes from reality.

Not much has changed, reality is not all it's cracked up to be!

I had imaginary customers. When I received a toy dish set I would pretend to be a waitress. And I would also take empty food cans and boxes and set up a grocery store. I would also pretend to be a school teacher with imaginary students.
