A childhood belief about imaginary friends

When I was around six and my sister was 8, we both had imaginary friends (as I recall, they were friends.) My sister's was named Charlotte, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and mine was named Lucy, with brown hair and blue eyes. I remember I would go into the bathroom, and there was mirrors across from it, and I would wonder why she wasn't with me in my reflection...I eventually convinced myself that she was staying inside the bedroom for my privacy. I don't remember what happened to Charlotte, but I eventually got tired of Lucy, and on her birthday (March 16) I decided that she was going to her Grandma's house. I kept waiting for her to come back, but she never did- my sister would ask me periodically, "When is Lucy coming back?" and I would say, "She wants to stay a little longer."
