My imaginary friends were a family named Ampsnee. The mom was She Ampsnee and the father was He Ampsnee. They had two kids, Him and Her. I didn't hang with the kids too much, usually just the parents.They would help me dig between the floor boards with a bobby pin to find gold dust. But they would get sick and go to the hospital alot. When asked I would say they were gone for a long long long long long long long(you get the idea) time and sort of put myself into a trance by the chant. I would sit in the triangular sliver of space behind the front door when it was open and carve totem poles out of raw carrots with my teeth and eat the cardboard rolls that toilet paper comes on. I would chant a word over and over until I lost the meaning. I remember doing that with the word 'carrot' so that it was like 'carrot carrot car rotcar rotcar rotcar rotcar rot'. One day the Ampsnee's moved away, far far far far far farf arf arf arf arf arf arf arf ar away........
