When I was a kid one of my hands was my best friend Ralphie and the other hand was an evil creature called Snaky. I would talk with them and use my hands like in a puppet to have them talk back. Ralphie could make cute noises that could get us out of trouble. Snaky just hissed and attacked things. My parents sent me to a counselor who told them that having imaginary friends was a sign of intelligence. I wonder what he would say now, now that I'm 39 and still use the characters to annoy my wife. Ralphie still gets me out of trouble with his cute noises, but my wife hates Snaky since he prefers to feed on boobs.
