I didn't have an imaginary till I was about 7. He was called Furry Snail, and he was (not surprisingly) a huge furry snail. He didn't make any slime and he usually turned up in the car. I wouldn't let my mom start driving until he had his seatbelt on. Don't ask me how a snail could wear a seatbelt. Also, when I was 2 or something, I thought I was some kind of mermaid made of toothpaste called Button Hair. I had this whole story going. I think even my mom believed it for a while.
