when i was in prep a boy convinced me that there was a ghost called strawberry who lived in the gaps between clouds. we would lie out on the oval and talk to strawberry. i can't remember when i finally realised this was not true, but i do remember telling my friends when i was older about strawberry. they laughed a lot and were very mean about my cloud friend!

When my daughter was 3 to 4, she had a large number of imaginary friends that she was always telling us about. One day I had invited a real friend over to play with my daughter.

I used to believe in unicorns. Whenever we'd take a long trip, I'd look for unicorns in the woods. Sometimes I'd pretend they were running beside the car and I'd think to them, run faster, or, we're stopping at the gas station, meet me there so I can pet you. When we'd get there, I'd realize all the other people scared them and so they wouldn't come.

when i was about 6, i used to believe the bottom drain of our club swimpool connected it directly to the ocean. that's what my older cousins told me, because they knew i was dead afraid of sharks ever since i had watched "jaws". they told me a shark could swim through the drain into the pool any time. i spent months without going into the pool.

When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I spent a lot of time with my neighboors. One night when they had a babysitter, he told me that I had to hurry home, because my parents were kidnapped by monsters, and only I could save them. Of course I ran home, and I was terrified to go into the livingroom where my parents were sitting! It took me a long time to be with my neighboors again when the babysitter was there too!
