When I was about three or four, my parents took me to France for a holiday. I had recently watched Puff the Magic Dragon, and it was my favourite film. One day, we were walking down a busy boulevard, when my old man told me a rather amazing story about Puff. He told me that he had been stuck on an island when he was small, and that Puff had rescued him, and that only kids rescued by Puff could talk to him. He said that since he'd been rescued, he was allowed to give one other person the gift of being able to speak to Puff, and he gave that gift to me. Apparently, when you talked to Puff, only you and puff could hear it.

This resulted in me running down the boulevard, getting odd looks as I yelled at the top of my voice, "PUFF PUFF I LOVE YOU PUFF! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND PUFF!" to some nonexistant dragon. My dad will never let me forget about that day..

I use to believe I was the principal of a school. I had thirty-something "students" and I knew all their names and personalities. One was even a half -leopard half girl named leprena.
When started school, I believed it was to make me a better principal. I would make up crazy stories with them, and even now I want to be a writer. I write stories and still use them at times.

I always wanted an imaginary friend, but I never actually had one, so I would walk around pretending to talk to my imaginary friend, but I couldn't really see one!

When I was 6 I used to have two imaginary sliced carrot friends named Jim and Joe who lived on my right shoulder. I would talk to them for advice.

Micah

I had imaginary friends named Susie, Tommy, Debra Lee and Frog Ass. To this day I don't know why he had that name. I used to make my family set plates for them at dinner. My sister's boyfriend made the mistake of sitting on one of them and I started screaming at him. My sister was mortified.

When I was a child not only did i have an imaginary friend I had imaginary families ... One in every color (blue, black, green, yellow, etc.) They each consisted of a mom, dad, brother, and sister, a fish, a dog, and a cat. Whenever I would Get Ill with my parents I told them I was going to live with one of my other families and to look me up whenever they decided "not to be mean". What would I have done without them?! :)

Pamela

I used to have three imaginary friends called Phineas(Finny), Elwin(Leper) and Brinker. Finny was my childish side. Leper had all my fears and Brinker was my conscience. One day I imagined I pushed Finny off a tree. Then my friend Brinker gave me a trial but Finny, with a broken leg, ran out of it and slipped on marble steps. He died because a piece of bone marrow got stuck in his heart. This happened when I was 5. Leper went crazy and died going to war when I was 13. Brinker however stayed until my 18th birthday.

So when my mother toke me to the Doctor one day. Jay Jay went with us and Jay Jay told me to run or I'd get eatten so I ran outside and I claimed a tree. Then Jay Jay came runnin out with me. It toke us 5 hours before we decide we would come out of the tree. The Doctor's Office had to call the local Police office to come and get me down. I can remember them Policemen talking to me and Jay Jay it was so funny. Then Jay Jay told me that the Policemen were strangers and since I wasn't allow to tell strangers my name...I wouldn't tell the nice Policemen what my name was....He would say "WHATS YOUR NAME SWEETHEART"? and I would say "JAY JAY SAYS YOUR A STRANGER AND I'M NOT ALLOW TO TELL STRANGERS MY NAME"!! But they did get me down after 5 hours and after that I wasn't allow to talk or see Jay Jay ever again.

When I was little I used to keep imaginary chickens in the bottom drawer of my bedroom cupboard. Every day I would shut the door, open the drawer, let the chickens out and feed them. One day my dad came into the room and all the chickens escaped. I was devastated as they were all eaten by my imaginary dog, Sandy.

Elizabeth

When I was little I had loads of imaginary friends, but my sister had twins with totally made-up names! They were called Mefron and Tee-tee. When I was a baby I always wanted to play with the remote, but my sister never let me because she wanted her imaginary friends to play with it instead, and would sit there for hours waiting for them to change the channel!!!!!

Alison

I had an imaginary purple cat named Unicorn. But my parents started asking me all the time "where is unicorn? what is unicorn doing?" So I locked it in the shed and told everyone that Unicorn died of starvation.

I've had two imaginary friends in my time. The first was called Bully, and was your standardised, everyone's got one, invisible friend. Were IKEA to sell imaginary friends then they would be like Bully, only called Boshtal or similar.

My second imaginary friend was not invisible, but rather microscopic. An antrhropomorphic representation of my immune system, I used to think he was responsible for killing germs and making me feel better. I remember one day comparing him to another friends microscopic friend, trying to determine which was the smallest.

When I was lil I believed that little people lived in the walls of my house, but instead of being scared of them they became my best friends. I thought they looked kinda like the little people on Fraggle Rock, and I would constantly walk around the house talking to them, imagining they were walking right next to me behind the wall.

Krissie

I had an Imaginary Friend who's name was Connie. She was the same age as me, I was about 4. Maybe she was a little older. Anyways, She dresses like she was from victorian time. Long fluff brown hair, frilly dress, etc. She was really mean. She would bite me, pull my hair, break things, I WOULDN'T DO ANY OF IT! Then one day i got fed up and pushed her out the car window while we were moving. Yup, that was the last time I saw her. Until about 1 year ago when I thought I saw her out of the corner of my eye. hmmm interesting...

JJ

when i was about 5, i didn't have many friends.

Sonic advunture battle 2) so i had him for a couple of years until 4th grade. last christmas (2005) igot Sonic Heroes and he came back only when i played the game on my gamecube. now that the disk broke thanks to a certian sister, my only memory of him is the instruction manuel :;(

I used to have these imaginary friends named Boy and Girl. Whenever me and my mom would go to K-Mart, I would take them with me and talk to them and pick out clothes for them. When my mom would tell me she wasn't going to buy clothes for them, I turned around and told them I'd tell her I wanted them so she'd get them for me, but that I would let them wear it instead of me.

Then every morning my mom would wake me up for school and I would complain I had nothing to wear because Boy and Girl were wearing all my clothes!

Spooky

I used to tell everyone that the janitor was my best friend. I don't know where I got this idea or why I thought this was cool. but I told everyone. and we never even talked.
