When I was about 3 or 4 I had an imaginary friend. He was a very tall skinny boy with a goatee and black hair. His name was Bojangles (a name which I had heard my brother use alot, but I didn't know he was talking about male genitalia >_<)
Bojangles liked to dress up in costumes and he dressed up like jesters alot. Once I remember he dressed up as a pirate and as a knight and he often dressed up in animal suits. With every costume he gave himself a nickname (i.e Captain Plankfoot Pirate was the pirate name of his). I used to talk to him when I was scared at night and pretend he was dancing and flying around the room. As soon as I started kindergarten he wasn't around much anymore, until he left completely.
