I used to think wall outlets looked like little faces (eyes and mouth), and so I would talk to them sometimes!

I am 12 now and even now i still have an imaginary friends! Me and my best friend abbey! ( abbey is a real person) we would go to Abbey's mom's work, she works at an inside school. We would run around the school pretending we had to find out imgaginary friends and take them away from the evil gargoyles! My imaginary friend's naem was Cynthia and she was like 6 years old, and Abbey's name was Hannah she was like 7!

Also, we would pretend they went to school, and go and pick them up from the big in hill in out neighborhood! Though it's been a little while since we've been to school and picked our imaginary friends up, we still pretend that the gargoyles still have them!

Good ol' days! ( wait they still are)

When I was 5, I had a pet water balloon. My mom picked it up out of the pool, squeezed it, made "arf arf" doggie sounds, and convinced me it was a real animal. So I named it Puppy, but sadly after three days Puppy popped and I cried about it for days.

Used to believe? I still have imaginary friends! Of course a few years of having them and I got it through my head they couldn't like, lift things or be detected by other people, but there's really no reason to stop believing that they're there.

When i was about 4 my mother would threaten me with the "naughty corner." I was sent there once and made an imajinary friend and would beg my mother to put me into the "naughty corner" just so i could talk. When i was allowed out i'd start crying sayin it was unfair. that was my real punishment! lol

When i was about 4 - 5 years of age i had an imaginary friend which was a golliwog and he used to visit me at night before i fell asleep and if i did he used to wake me up. The only problen with this imaginary friend was that i was scared of him and he made me cry everytime i saw him. He also used to leave me tiny peices of newspaper in my wardrobe every morning which i still havnt figured out why to this day

Oh let's see, when I was four, I had three imaginary friends, Frak, yes Frak, (my grandfather's name was Frank, my grandmother often yelled his name), and Joanie and Sandie, until my sister was born and then I left them at the hospital, locked up in the bathroom in my mom's hospital room. I was scared they were going to take my baby sister away. I kept looking out of the back window of the car, expecting to see them chasing us. I slept in my sister's room for a couple nights until my mom made me sleep in my own room. I was so certain they were gonna get her. I believed this forever.

I am going to tell u beforehand that my parents are both idiots.

One day i came home and told my parents that i had met a boy with a toy dragon. They thought I had said a boy dragon and assumed that I had made an imaganary friend. I told them his name (Kyle) and they said thatz nice dear.

one day i was talking on the phone with Kyle and my parents heard me talking to him. They asked me were Kyle lived. I told them and they asked if he would really live that close. I did not understand where they were going.

Several weeks later and I was good friends with Kyle the "boy dragon" and my parents thought that it had gone on long enough.

They took me to a therapist who asked me all about Kyle. I had no idea what was happening.

A few weeks later and I was still talking to Kyle. My parents offerd me gifts if i wud stop playing with Kyle.

After a few MORE MONTHS of this my parents and I had finally figured out there had been a misunderstanding.

Kyle and I still laugh about this.

Oh and it was wierd for me to have and imaginary friend because I was 12.

When I was about 10 I had an imaginary friend called Kelly, I didn't really have any real friends in school so I'd sit at break times 'talking to her'. I remember my cousin telling me one day that she too had got a an imaginary friend who was also called Kelly, so I forced 'my' Kelly to change her name to Kelly-Gemma lol.

From age 6-12 I had an imaginary friend who when I was in the car would run along side it, or on the sidewalk if one was available... He would jump over fire hydrants, lamp posts, other cars, ect. I never gave him a name and never saw him any other time then when I was in the backseat (passanger side) of the car.

I've always had many imaginary friends, and still do (to an extent). One of the ones I remember the most was my Digimon (Digital Monster) named Marmoterriermon, who had a gold "earband" as I called it, was grey, and had blue eyes. He was cool...

My best friend all through school had quite a lot of imaginary friends, namely Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Yes, ALL of them. But she didn't like Snow White and always locked her in the closet. Doc was her favorite dwarf, and when she finally decided she didn't want to play with him anymore, she put him in a shoebox in the basement and left him there. No one knows what happened to the others.

After seeing The Borrowers when I was little, I used to believe all of these little people used to take things from you, then give them back. But I also used to think there were The Stealers witch used to take things without giving them back. So when I lost something, (I always did) and it turned up, I used to say, "Thank you Borrowers!" But when something didn't turn up, I would say, "Its not my fault, The Stealers took it!"

Between the ages of 3 and 5, I had a group of imaginary friends I remember quite vividly. They were 3 giant talking cats. There was an orange one, a white one, and a grey one named Hector. Then I saw the cartoon Heathcliff for the first time, and lo and behold, there was an orange talking cat, a white one, and a gray one- NAMED HECTOR! I was convinced that my imaginary friends were no longer imaginary. After all, they were big T.V. stars!
