A childhood belief about imaginary friends

When I was little, I had a BUNCH of imaginary friends. Depending on what I was in to at the time--maybe Care Bears, or characters from a book I just read--they all took the form of whatever it was I liked. I talked to them and asked their opinions on everything, and I talked back as them, too. But the best thing, I think, was when I had to go to bed. Every one of them had to wish the others good-night. So first I'd say good-night, and they would say good-night back. Then the next member of the brigade would go, and say good-night to everyone else. And the next, and the next... and I felt terrible the ext morning if I forgot anybody.
