When I was in primary shool me and my best friend both pretended to be adults ALL the time, it was our favourite game. She was a play-group teacher with a whole class of children (they had names and some had personalities) and I was a fashion designer with an assistant called Linda. We both had husbands (mine was called David Johnson and was Lindas brother) and 13 children (2 teenagers, 8 children of various ages, a toddler, and twin babies). Between us we also had about 50 pets (who Linda and her friends were payed to look after) including horses who we 'rode' to school. After we stopped playing with them I still believed I had an alter-ego called Josie (my middle name) who was living this life, but had divorced David and was now married to Lindas other brother (and Davids twin :S) John. It never occoured to me that this made him 'John Johnson'.
