When I was little, I had two imaginary friends, "Scoola" and "Roe Call". I never understood why this made my family laugh so hard until one day as an adult, I saw a re-run of an old Mouseketeers episode. All the Mouseketeers came out, then they said, "It's time for school and roll call!" and everyone cheered and clapped. I didn't see anyone else come out, so I figured "Schoola" and "Roe Call" must be imaginary.
