make-believe: imaginary friends

When I was young, I had believed I had an imaginary friend, but I was never able to proof it. 'till one day, my birthday (Which I didn't realise), I woke up and found Walki-Talkie's next to my bed. For me this was the proof. I believed it 'till I was about 6 years old...

Yes, me be weird...

A few months after my sister was born I had an imaginary friend named Bikini. I told everyone that she came out of my mirror and she looked exactly like me. She visited me everyday when she was feeling sad because her parents had died. I don't know where I had gotten that noone in my family had died at that point. We did everything together. She slowly dissapeared when my sister began to walk and talk. Then when she was about four bikini came back but not I couldn't see her only my sister could!

When I was 5, I used to pretend that 'Sarah' lived in a hole in my wall next to my bed amongst the Holly Hobby wallpaper. Sarah's auntie lived down the corner of my bed and a nasty man lived 'next door' to Sarah. Sarah and I used to argue and we'd not speak to each other for days however I'd stick up for her when the nasty man was being horrible to her.....

when my daughter was 4 (she is now 10) she had many imaginary friends one of whom was named colt well for a child of that age i could tell she was watching way to much "grown up tv" because colt was a boy one day a girl the next and at the end of week not even colt was sure what sex he/she was

I use to have a make believe friend her name was Hun-a-burg and we were in competition with each other all of the time I had no brothers or sisters to compete with so I had to imvent one. I was the smart one and Hun-a-burg was the dumb one. I listened to my Mom and she did not and so on. It got me through many of lonely day and nights when I had no one to play with. Hun-a-burg died sometime before I went to High school but I never forgot my little friend today her memory is still with me.....

When I was little I had an imaginary friend Day-Day. She was my best friend. My family members frequently tried to trick me and say they saw Day-Day somewhere, but they couldn't fool me, she was always with me. I was sad the day she had to leave me...

When I was growing up, I had an imaginary friend named Hammer. My mom told me that one day I was very upset and crying. She asked me what was wrong, and I told her that Hammer died. Mom said that a couple days later I was really happy again, and I told her that Hammer was alive again.

All of my aunts and uncles knew I had an imaginary friend. They sometimes still make fun of me and ask me about Hammer.

I used to have an imaginary friend named Smellgood & it started out that she was my doll & she smelled good & I was trying to think up her name & my mom named her. And then she grew up to be a librarian & she had children, I don't remember their names tho. I used to get on my mom's nerves telling her about wat Smellgood did, & eventually Smellgood grew old & when I was about 6 my sister told me Smellgood was in the hospital & had died . I cried for weeks!

My older sister had a friend with the last name Bower. My younger sister who was maybe 4 or 5 at the time wanted a friend too, and she didn't have many,so she invented one. She called the friend her "bower" and got great enjoyment out of playing with her much to the delight of the rest of us who got much enjoyment laughing about it. We still do to this day, over 30 years later, ask her about her "bower".

i used to have an imaginary friend named Alex. I SWEAR to this day she was real. We played together everyday. she was my bestfriend. she lived just down the street from me. well one day she was being mean to me and i told my mom to tell Alex to go home. So my mom told her to go home. and i never saw her again. i cried for the next few days cus She didn't come over.

I had a pretend friend when I was younger called Willtina. She was my excuse for many things. I told my mom that I couldn't sleep at night because Willtina was making too much noise playing on my hangers in the closet.

I also told her quite sadly one time while we were on a trip that Willtina had died. When she expressed her sympathy, I said "Don't worry, mom, there's nine more in the trunk!"

I used to have an imaginary friend called Pingey (Pin-jee) . He resembled a small orange dinosaur with tattoos. Nobody else could see him because he was so small. I remember for some reason he could eat really fast. When my parents asked me where he came from I said he just came in a nappy (thats daiper for you Americans) box.

When I was 8 i used to think the kids from books were real so I used to hang out with Ella for Ella Enchanted, Hermione from Harry Potter, and Addie and Meryl from The 2 Princesses of Bamarre.

When I was about 2 or 3 me and my sister both had imaginary friends my friend was named John-boy and hers was named Dandy-girl and my sister and I used to argue about which of our friends was cooler or better at sports or smarter etc. And I remember actually getting into a fist fight over our friends and to this day she still has a scar on her leg from me trying to cut her leg off with a plastic-play knife.

When I was growing up as an only child somewhere around the age of 4-6 I had an imaginary brother named Frank and he even had a birthday (January 24th) which as you know I still remember but I would always play monopoly with him but when my mom asked why I never let him roll the dice I told her that he had carpal tunnel from too much bowling (I got the idea from my dad's friend who that really DID happen too)

*A moment of silence in memory of Frank*

When I was younger I would pretend my stuffed animals were living animals. They would have a personality and a name. I would talk to them and acted like they would talk back. Ever since then now im 14 im afraid my stuffed animals are haunted.
