my sister was convinced, when we were little, that we had 4 brothers. in fact we only had one. she said that jake and john were her triplets and that freddy was a year older and adopted (she also said that he was jewish for some unknown reason) and then our actual brother brian (who was over 9 years older than me). she told me that my mother sent my 3 brothers away because she didnt like them, which to my 4 year old self made sense because my real brother was honestly my half brother and lived with his mom. years later i found out the truth- i was quite relieved i kept on worrying that my mom was gonna send me away- but we still laugh whenever it comes up. and occasionally we try to fool our friends.

I used to believe that I hada real imaginary frnd, his name was Mass, short for mask. I used to play with him all the time, untill he moved away. ... :(. LOL

LOL child

When my little brother was four, he had an imaginary friend named Jim. Everyday, he would run around with Jim and scream randomly because Jim was hurting him in some way. One day, my brother came home from day care, and was telling us that he got into trouble. That was all he would say. When we asked what happend, he would look at us in astonishment and repeat "I got in trouble!"

The next day, as my step mom was getting him ready for day care, she asked him if Jim was ready. He answered "he cant come back with me because i got into a fight with him yesterday." she said okay, and they left.

Later that day, he had to come home early, he was crying so hard. Once we finally calmed him down, he was able to tell us that since Jim went to day care with him eventhough he wasnt allowed to, a bear ate him. He was quite sad for a couple days, but now when we ask him about Jim, he doesnt remember him. He is now six.

Long Live the Funny Memory of Jim

Betty and Madonna were my first two imaginary friends when i was about 2. I still remember unwrapping presents at Christmas from them. I had another imaginary friend at 6 named Ecko lol. I remember i used to stick out my lil pearl necklace on the floor when I wanted to talk to her and i used to get in arguments with her alot.

When I was really young, I got a "Ouiga" (wee-jee) board for Christmas. It was just a cardboard Milton-Bradley one, but I still figured that it would work. We set it up in my bedroom and for the longest time, I had my sister conviced that there was the soul of a girl named Sarah living in the walls of our bedroom. I made up a whole story about her and everything. When we would talk to Sarah through the Ouija board, I would actually be moving the pointer and accuse my sister of moving it so that she got so scared that she actually thought Sarah was doing it. I had a vivid imagination.

untill i was 5, i had an imaginary friend. her name was Samantha. my mom would always set a spot for her at the table, but she never ate her imaginary food. after my sister was born, Samantha "told" me that she had to leave because she didnt like my new sister. i hated my sister for a very long time because she drove away my best friend (we lived in a community with alot of old people who never had any children visit, so i didnt have many friends.)

I used to have an imaginary friend called Pingey (Pin-jee) . He resembled a small orange dinosaur with tattoos. Nobody else could see him because he was so small. I remember for some reason he could eat really fast. When my parents asked me where he came from I said he just came in a nappy (thats daiper for you Americans) box.

When I was little, (like maybe 5 or 6) I had one of those beds that had the canopy over it. I used to think that there was a whole neighbourhood of tiny people living on top, and I would have long conversations about delivering their mail to them every night hahaha

My cousin is 3 years old and she has 3 imaginary friends: Tina, Ashton, and Ashley. Tina always gets Lexi in trouble so one day, my aunt told her to tell Tina that she had to be good in church. Lexi then proceeds to scream "TINA GET OUTTA THE TRASH CAN! I GOTTA TALK TO YOU ABOUT CHURCH!" Apparently, Tina, Ashton, and Ashley reside in her princess trash can.

One day, Lexi was going to have a sleep-over with Tina, Ashely, and Ashton. She threw a fit because Ashton said he couldn't come to her party. My aunt told her that was ok because there were no boys allowed and I guess in the next five seconds, Ashton had a sex change and became a girl.

I used to have Vicki the Robot from Small Wonder as my imaginary friend.

I am going to tell u beforehand that my parents are both idiots.

One day i came home and told my parents that i had met a boy with a toy dragon. They thought I had said a boy dragon and assumed that I had made an imaganary friend. I told them his name (Kyle) and they said thatz nice dear.

one day i was talking on the phone with Kyle and my parents heard me talking to him. They asked me were Kyle lived. I told them and they asked if he would really live that close. I did not understand where they were going.

Several weeks later and I was good friends with Kyle the "boy dragon" and my parents thought that it had gone on long enough.

They took me to a therapist who asked me all about Kyle. I had no idea what was happening.

A few weeks later and I was still talking to Kyle. My parents offerd me gifts if i wud stop playing with Kyle.

After a few MORE MONTHS of this my parents and I had finally figured out there had been a misunderstanding.

Kyle and I still laugh about this.

Oh and it was wierd for me to have and imaginary friend because I was 12.

I had an imaginary friend when I was younger. She was called Anniver. My mum has since told that I named her this becsue I had just learnt the word anniversary! Anniver looked like me, but had different coloured clothes to me! She would come everywhere with us, my mum would put the seatbelt round her in the car, just like she did me! But one day, mum forgot to hold the car door open for Anniver to get in! Sadly, Anniver was crushed in the door when my mum slammed it and died from her injuries! Recently I've thought that I could've kept her alive, as she was in my imagination, but I think it must've been time for me and Anniver to part ways and grow up seperately.
