A childhood belief about imaginary friends

When I was little, I had a slew of imaginary friends. There was Stompy, who was like a big brother to me, and his little sister MolliMae (I wanted a sister named that - I got a brother instead), and their mom, Meant It. And her sister, Beat It. (my mom used to tell me "I MEANT it!" all the time, and instead of telling my puppy to go away, she'd tell her to "beat it"). There was Gung Gung, who always got me in trouble (and spit in my mom's cereal), and Big IkkiBikki and Little IkkiBikki, who looked like Dr. Seuss characters.
After we moved when I was about 5, I didn't have them anymore.
