I used to have an imaginary friend named April. She looked just like me and had the same name as me. As an only child, if someone did something wrong, my parents always knew I was the one who had done it, so I would say that "April" did it. At first, my protests led to confusion for my parents, thinking that I was suddenly referring to myself in the 3rd person, but they figured it out after a while and started punishing both "Aprils" when "we" would do something bad.
