A childhood belief about imaginary friends

When i was young (2-5) i had two friends called tootchi and pornogs. Tootchie had a highpitched voice and pornogs had a deep voice (that i used to do, yep, in effect i had conversations with myself!)tootchie and pornogs were elf like things one all in green and one all in red with pointy hats. they lived in a hole in the bannisters and i used to stand on the stairs and look into the mirror at the bottom and talk to them as i could see their reflections. i also used to walk round always holding thier hands, and cried if anyone sat in their place at dinner (as they would be squashing them). they went when my sister was born
