When I was little, I had an imaginary friend. It wasn’t so much that I really saw a person there, it was more along the lines that I decided that I was going to do, and so I did. It’s the same philosophy I had when I decided that I was going to now cross all of my 7′s and Z’s. It’s not that I was TAUGHT that way, I just decided that I wanted to write them that way, and so I did. My imaginary friend was named “Hang Loose” and he came from Loosy Land… again, who knows??
So it looks like the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, as Maddie has imaginary friends. Sometimes these people are external (like she’s talking to them, or making me talk to them), and sometimes she IS the friend. There is a dog… named Sparkles, and a baby… named Leah. Both Sparkles and Leah are quite funny. I am required to read to Leah, and teach her how to walk and read, and give her baths. I have to feed Sparkles, and pet her.
I just have to say, my child is hilarious.
