Drop Dead Fred

DS is 3 and a half and he has 2 friends. One is called Eddie and 'Eddie' hangs around the house and plays outside with him. He also comes shopping with us a lot. I actually had 2 guys follow us around the supermarket once listening to DS and 'Eddie' chat and me have to answer 'Eddie's' questions, absolutely killing themselves laughing.
He also has 'Pussy Cat' who comes in the car with us. We have to put Pussy's seatbelt on and make sure he is comfy, although that is usually the last we hear of PussyCat until we get home, and have to go through the production of getting Pussy Cat out of the car.
Eddie has been quite a long term thing too here so we are used to it, although it tends to freak out visitors if he mentions him

lol @ freaking out visitors.

My DD had imaginary cats and dogs who used to come everywhere with us. She used to walk around the shops holding their imaginary leads

My DS1 had an imaginary friend that was a little bee. DS1 told me once that his little bee left him a yellow highlighter pen and he thought it was amazing. I have no idea where it came from and to this day, neither does DS1 (who is now almost 17).

One day when DS1 was about 6 he told me that his little bee had to fly away to be with his family and he was never seen again.

DD2 had a friend called Anna for years who went everywhere we did and sometimes Anna had a friend called kate.

When I did the grocery shopping I used to have to buy food for Anna and pack it into her bag.

Any time she got into trouble Anna had to get the same treatment.

Eventually grew out of the friendship but I still remind her about them from time to time to tease her

DD1 was only child for 3.5years and she had an imaginary friend, two actually.
One named Hona (like Mona but with H) and Claire.
I went and saw a medium who told me these were spirits, guiding her.

I never worried about it again.

Don't know if I should admit this, but I used to have an imaginary friend 'Charlie'. I don't remember much about it but I think we used to play together. I think I just eventually grew out of it as I made some 'real' friends...
