I probably used to open the door to let my wind out!!!!!!!!!!!!

awe maggie thats so sad, what a vivid life her friend had, sweep boy,
he sounds like humphrey tho, he had a thing about writing on walls, drew bubble people, little round faces and bodies, and S everywheere
i told daughter he was usin her initials not his to write and if he carried on shed get told off not him,
he stopped too
howie nearly sat on humphrey one year in a cafe in weymouth, he had to leave a space as humphrey sat in middle of um, he was quiet tho must of like weymouth too

Son had one when he was 3 yrs- he was a clown and lived with us for about a year. I had to flatten myself against staircase wall when son came up as once - never to be forgotten the trauma of it - I passed son on stairs = knocked clown down and walked over him! He had his own chair, plate, knife and fork and a tiny bit of food on plate etc but one had to be careful when sitting down in lounge as one could easily sit on him - got I used to ask son - is this seat empty??????? Things we do for children - we must all be mental!

I had an imaginary friend called Janet.

I can hardly remember about her but Ive been told that visitors to our home were warned about not sitting on her!

I must have been about 3.

Me and my sister had two imaginary friends that used to play with each other, they were called "girls-dad-the-boy and Theresa",!! Blimey, I'd forgotten all about them, they were our alter-go's I think!! I was the first ne and goodness knows where that name came from--we were only 5 and 7!!or perhaps yonger!!!

Sorry Chris that did make me laugh lol

My nephew use to always talk to a lady. We'd sit and listen to him on the baby monitor when he was about 3 or 4. A proper conversation but of course only his side of it.

thank god for that devon, i thought you were gona say you heard her reply for minute

chris that made me laugh out loud too the thought of a clown flat on his back sliding down stairs

S*d asking if imaginary friends were in the way!! LOL
They had to get out of MY way!!!!
I pointed out that Patrick was younger and more agile than me - and that was MY chair!!!

Last time he sat there!!

*gosh I was a hard mum* LOL

Evening - I had an imaginary friend called Rachel and when I was small and did something wrong i.e. broke a plate, I'd go to my mam and tell her what Rachel had done - made my mam's life a bit easier I suppose

im nudging this cos i love reading all the tales of these imaginary friends

daugther has childminded a few children with friends who accompany them
one used ot have them jump in back of car with her, shed say oh dear the little monkeys are fighting here in the back,
shed look round and say now behave,

another child mroe recently arriving after school said look at mischief (this was ones name) shes bouncing along top of sofa, and pulling curtains, opps now shes jumped the safety gate into the kitchen,
she has all kinds of tales to tell of them and their day at school

Our youngest had an imaginary friend. I often wondered if this was brought on by the fact that she was the youngest by 6 years and so home-alone with me while her brother and sister were at school all day.
Actually there were 2 friends, but we didn't hear much about No-No. She 'lived' with us in Germany and rode on the car parcel shelf. Her father alternated between being a dentist or a King who went to Hong Kong
!
Elizabeth, the other friend was a pain in the neck, or rather her mother was. Luckily the mother was never present, but was often spoken about. She let Elizabeth do all sorts of things which weren't allowed in our house.
This was also in Germany, where we liked to watch the BBC news on the evening TV to keep in touch with home. We asked the children to play quietly so we could listen.
" Elizabeth's mother let's her sing while the news is on, ...and she never moans, " I was told.

Elizabeth's mother apparently also allowed her daughter to have meat paste and honey in the same sandwich, ..Lol

My youngest grandson 3 asked his mum who was in the car with them, on checking rear view mirror he was looking at empty seat at the side of him.

He was told there was just the two of them in the car, the next question was can you die out of the car window, asked why he answered because the little boy did he banged his head cried and there was blood and he died.

who told you that my daughter asked........

he replied he told me and grandad when we were playing, my daughter had to stop the car and compose herself.

Grandad died seventeen years ago long before grandson was born

Make of it what you will butr I had an imaginary spider who lived down the toilet. His name was Shim Sham.

(Guess I'd seen my mum deal with one)
