Anyone have an imaginary friend when they were little?

I had one named John John the Cukoo Bird, who was a red, yellow and blue "cukoo bird." He lived in a place called Hilandville with his mother Ida and and his father John. He had a freind named Lon Lon that died. A friend of mine and I had a funeral for him and buried him on the playground at school. Anyone else as wierd as me when they were a child?

1. my imaginary friend was Woolfie

It might not surprise you to find out that he was a wolf.

progspawn is friends with imaginary mice. when we're up in a plane, they're in a little plane flying next to us. if he doesn't like the answer we give him, he holds out his palm and says: "Let me ask my mice! Hmmmm....my mice say yes!!"

4. I've always thought that having imaginary friends.......

...indicates a pretty high level of creativity and imagination in a child. My daughter created a whole group of imaginary friends, centered around "Bopper" the Superdog. She drew pictures of them all, and we would play games together where we would include the superdog characters. It was tremendous fun.

I vaguely remember having imaginary friends, but they weren't that well developed.

7. My younger son has a whole set of 'em

His first imaginary friend was Frank, who came from the twenty-first dimension. He takes care of my kid's airplane. At first Frank was my son's boss, but now my kid's the boss after he won a game from Frank.

Frank has a sidekick named Blur, who is a tank-bunny. That is a Megatron with a bunny head. Blur and frank work together on a lot of things. Blur made his first appearance after two robotic dogs died.

Lately there have been mentions made of an Evil Robot Frank, who is Frank's evil robotic double.
