When my daughter was 3 to 4, she had a large number of imaginary friends that she was always telling us about. One day I had invited a real friend over to play with my daughter. When she took her friend in to introduce her to my husband, he yelled to me, "Barbara, I think Shannon's imaginary friends are starting to get to me. I think I see this one!"
