Most kids have them--what/who was your imaginary friend? Mine was my my brain (odd, I know) But I would have "conversations" with my brain all the time--it all made sense when I was 5 :D

My son has 3 or 4. I talked to myself a lot and daydreamed all the time, but I never had any imaginary friends. EXCEPT, once I made one up because I thought I was supposed to have one. I kept forgetting about them, though.:p

I can't say that I had many completely imaginary friends, though I imagine myself conversing with various people, animals, etc. People I've met at school, animals I've seen (cats, dogs, and so forth), etc. I still do this today, actually...

Did that white rabbit have a name? It didn't happen to be named Glenda, did it?

HA !!

I don't remember. I do remember that my grandmother took me to see "Harvey".

I still talk to animals. I don't know why, I just do. They don't understand, but they seem to respond...

ME :D

I don't remember much of my childhood - so I'll have to ask my parents, but I don't think I had an imaginary friend :( sounds like it was fun to have one!

I also talk with animals. I agree with speedo - they don't understand (perhaps), but they seem to respond.

You know, I doubt taht animals can understand everything you say--but they can figure out your emotions and the tone of your voice--sort of like a 2 year old does--so I talk to animals, and believe they can undertand most of what I say as well :D

Mr. Jake. I had Mr. Jake who was a very good friend.
My parents had to watch where they sat as to not squish him...and I would give him my peas when they weren't looking.

He stole a tootsie roll for me one time and we hid in my closet to keep the secret. We got caught :( I told them that it wasn't me..but I still had to go and pay the lady at the grocery store and confess my sin.

He could be rather naughty.

He was very artistic.

He drew clouds on the bathroom wall with my mother's lipstick and found the baby teeth the tooth fairy put in her underwear drawer. :D

I miss him. Where is he when I need him?

I never had an imaginary friend I had an imaginary world. I can even describe it in huge detail. It was like a story with the main charcter always different. My imagination was often ruided by movies when all I could do was think about them but the day after I could pick it up agian. It was really fun.

Barbie. Unfortunately this turned out to be a bad role model.... being that not all women were created according to the Matel guidelines. Alas, plastic sugery has allowed the unattainable to become a reality.
