I used 2 have an imaginary friend named Bobby. My mom was really supportive about him. If i wanted him to come to dinner, mom would pull out an extra plate and chair just for him.I took him EVERWHERE!!!!! my friends finally started to grow out of him and told me i was a BABY. One day i walked in the kitchen and my mom asks " Where's Bobby Ema???" I finally told her what i thought had happened. "He went to Disneyland on Vacation."........ He never came back.....I LOVE U BOBBY!!!!

I had the weirdest imaginary friends as a child - none of which were human.
I had a brontosaurus named Minnie Mouse, who lived by the trailer in my front yard wearing a typical Minnie Mouse outfit (polka dot dress with matching bow and heels)
I had a tiger named Mr. Muggs who wore a mailmans had. Funny, he never delivered mail...the only time I would see him would be if he happened to be walking down the street, but he was quite a dull character to talk to.
I had a tiny white mouse named Little John who wore a tiny yellow tee and red overalls. He lived in my garden and was the fastest creature 'in the world'.
And lastly, my favourite, was E.T. and brown, cartoon, moose. His size varied from bigger than my house, or pocket-sized so I could take him with me wherever I went.
I would often spend my time outside playing with E.T., making up routines (dancing and singing) like they did on Barney.
And, I really did have one human friend. Mayda. But she only existed for a day.

This is sort of embarrasing, but i used to have an imaginary friend that was a girl and i named her Chachi LaBamba. (I dont have any clue where I got the name) But i remember one christmas when i was about 3 and i was sitting on the couch (with Chachi) and my cousin was opening his gifts and he got a cassette tape and played it and the song LaBamba just happened to come on. I was so excited that someone had written a song about my imaginary friend and promptly told my cousin, who then called me stupid.

That was the last day I ever saw Chachi... :(

We had a big pine table in our kitchen, and I used to believe there were these little animals that lived in the knots called 'oi-ee's. Oi-ees were bone-shaped, with a little smily face at the top. They were perfectly friendly, and didn't frighten me at all.

When i was about 8 or 9, i told my sister who was about 5 or 6, that there was a girl who lived in England, but she would visit our nieghbors and come over to our house, so i would tell my sister that i had to go to the bathroom, but i would really change clothes and my hair and come out and talk with a British accent and pretend i was "Amanda" the girl from England! My sister believed it until i told her when she was about 11!

Back when I was five or six, my best friend and I were hanging out on the playground. Her older sister was showing off her new yo-yo, and we were immensly jealous. So, we created our own imaginary friends. We each had a chipmunk, and it could turn into a yo-yo!

We had hours of fun playing with them. Then we started creating more and more. Eventually, some other kids asked us what we were doing.

I told them we had 'Invisible Animals'. They wanted some too. So I handed them an egg (invisible, of course), and said that if they held it close to their heart, it would hatch into their own animal!

God, I was a strange child. O.O

When I was in primary shool me and my best friend both pretended to be adults ALL the time, it was our favourite game. She was a play-group teacher with a whole class of children (they had names and some had personalities) and I was a fashion designer with an assistant called Linda. We both had husbands (mine was called David Johnson and was Lindas brother) and 13 children (2 teenagers, 8 children of various ages, a toddler, and twin babies). Between us we also had about 50 pets (who Linda and her friends were payed to look after) including horses who we 'rode' to school. After we stopped playing with them I still believed I had an alter-ego called Josie (my middle name) who was living this life, but had divorced David and was now married to Lindas other brother (and Davids twin :S) John. It never occoured to me that this made him 'John Johnson'.

I am an only child and when I was 5, I figured that I needed a sibling. My parents weren't supplying, so I put matters in my own hands and started having an imagenary friend, Max. After about a month of Max, my parents were getting worried about my health. I remember my mom asking me if I could actually see Max to which I replied, "MOM! He's imagenary!"

i have had many different imaginary friends. When i was four, i had a dog, nickel. He was a dalmation. I went for a long time with nickel until he ran away. Next, my most recent is Ty, this really awesome and cool guy, who's my age. I also have Danny, he's a hyperactive-ninja who also is obssessed with the show naruto. My mom thinks i'm phycho, but i don't think so. Mom, if you're reading this, I"M NOT CRAZY!!!!!!!

my mom asked where are the little fellas? and I said they left for Arizona

I had three imaginary friends. They were sheep who lived in Cincinati and were named Sh*t, Bang, and Catholic.

My brother used to tell me stories about how he was a super spy with a companion dog that mom and dad didn't know about. The spy missions (including one involving evil Lego), the death of super dog, everything. Of course, I shouldn't be suprised: he used to pretend to be on the phone with the tooth fairy! I believed every word he said for a long while.....

I used to believe that when i walked passed plants they would be waving at me, and if it was a good day even the tress would be saying Hello, i thought that i was a queen, i would even give them a wave back but maybe it was just the wind or maybe they just wanted to say hello.

I had two imaginary friends called Sally and Jane. They would sit either side of me in the car and slept in the bottom bunk of my bed. They wore matching dungarees and coloured t-shirts just like me. The wierd thing is that I really, really believed they were there!

When I was in sixth grade, one of my friends had an imaginary boyfriend. His name was Bob. She insisted that she and Bob were going to get married...I always wondered if they'd have imaginary children. ^^

As a child I had an imaginary friend by the name of Mr. Booble. I always thought it was strange that he was an adult, rather than another child for me to play with. But there he was. We would play cards together, create art projects, build tents, and talk. He would tell me about his world (Booble-Land) and I would tell him about mine. The best part was that I was never bad or wrong where Mr. Booble was concerned. My ideas were always inspired. My plans always delightful. I was an innocent and special to him. And I believe I was loved. Ahhh...if only to have a friend like that as an adult.
