childhood imaginary friend

[Drunky McBetidont]

the recent discussion of daydreaming and whatnot has got me thinking/remebering my early years and my imaginary friend.  I remember getting caught singing to him whilst swinging on a swing in the yard.  he used to help me clean my room and he used to folow me to the schoolbus. i dont remeber his name, but i remeber him resembling jimminee cricket.

<p>after my dog died when I was 8, i started pretending he was still there and would 'play' with him. </p><p>i think that may be more of a traumatic reaction than anything.</p><p>although it went on for years. </p>

<p>I send mine in to work for me when I call out sick.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Come to think of it, he really doesn't get much done.</p>

My brother had an imaginary friend, and my uncle told him that he ran across the street and got hit by a car and died.&nbsp; My brother started crying.&nbsp; pretty funny.

<p>never had an imaginary friend...</p><p>i remember having a ton of best friends, it seemed like every few weeks i'd have a new best friend and we'd be hanging out and visiting each others house and then before you know it you didn't hang out anymore. </p><p>you never remember why you became best friends and you never remember why you stopped hanging out but just did</p>

I never had an imaginary friend, just odd voices in my head telling me that I should really think about make believe friends who dont steal my stash or raid my refridgerator of the TV dinners that i eat during re-runs of Seinfeld

I never had an imaginary friend. I had imaginary acqaintances that never really got along with me.
