oooh that's so sad Trillium!!! Little man (3.5) has loads of imaginary friends - Minnie, your stories cracked me up b/c they're as out there as little man's! My sister-in-law insists i should write a kids book based on all of his characters and their various and sundry adventures. I just can't keep up! They're hysterical! the best part is many are in part based on stuffed animals - so they are sometimes tied to the physicality of the stuffed animal, and sometimes have a world unto their own.
The stories keep us in stitches most meals. The adventures! the travels! the intricate family webs! They all live in alternate universes known as "my new york" or other such places. A recent favorite, one of the friends went to Leon, Mexico to tame lions for vacation. (big man's (7) love of geography tends to color little man's locales quite a bit... ) ;-)
like someone else said - treasure it! i will be so sad the day these friends dissappear!
(Mam - find it funny, we're also a bilingual household and some of the friends / family are clearly spanish speakers while others are clearly english speakers too....)
