When I was 5-6, I had two imaginary friends that I adored named Rufus and Tanya. I remember that Rufus was a green and blue dog and that Tanya didn't have a leg (I later gave her an auto-mail, which I called at the time, a "shiny leg") We had a lot of fun times...
However, my family wasn't too happy about my imaginary friends. One morning, my mom decided she had had enough with Rufus and Tanya and told me that they had packed their bags and left early that morning. Being so young, I believed my mom and I was heartbroken. I waited at the stoop for days seeing if they'd come back home, but they sadly didn't.
I'm now 21 and seven months pregnant with a girl. When my daughter gets to the age where she has imaginary friends, I won't do what my mom did about my imaginary friends. Well, I'll TRY, lol.
