A childhood belief about imaginary friends

When I was younger I spent all my time playing with my sister. She was 2 years older than me, so she started school while I was left at home. So, I made up an imaginary friend. Her name was Julie and she was a vampire. At the time Beetlejuice was my favorite movie, so I decided that Julie could only be reached if you drew a door in the dirt with a stick and knocked on it three times. As my sister began coming home with stories from school I started to get jealous so I made up my own school. After my sister told her stories I told all about my school (which Julie went to also). In my school I had 3 teachers, a mean one, a nice one and a funny one. I even made up classmates giving each of them a different personality. I would adlib stories about them and my sister would always crack up. I should have been a writer.
