Did you or your child(ren) ever have an imaginary friend or friends?

When I was very young I remember having special friends that lived in the light bulbs. They'd come and watch over me whenever the light was left on. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I asked this question once and didn't get not one response. Maybe because it was kind of creepy. You see, my sisters and I were so close when we were little there we had the same imaginary friend. She hung out with all three of us at the same time. I don't know that either of us even thought about her when we were not together. The three of us had a lot of fun back then. Her name was Cherdine.

I never had an imaginary friend. Maybe I was just a boring child! I don't think my little sister did either, either that or she kept the friend very quiet. I did have an imaginary pet, but I did that on purpose to make my parents buy me a hamster. I was a manipulative little thing.

Miami, I'm wondering if this would be true in families that only had one or two siblings or an only child? In our family, we had 9 siblings, so I never needed an imaginary friend, I had plenty to keep me busy! I don't think my brothers and sisters ever mentioned an imaginary friend either!

I can't remember the name of my main imaginary friend, but I know my mom would remember it. All I can remember is that he lived in a pink, round house. I kind of think he was possibly also pink and round, but I don't know for sure.

Believe it or not, I never had one. Or at least I don't remember it and neither does anyone else.

Yes I had an imaginary friend. His name was Harvey and he was inspired by the character from the movie Harvey, an invisible six foot rabbit :) So I didn't really have to imagine too much what he looked like. He was great to have for a while but then I grew up and I didn't need him anymore. Life works that way.

My oldest daughter had two imaginary friends when she was little. Their names were Pug and Heady. When my daughter was about age six they moved to California. She was so sad she cried about them moving. I guess having them move was her way of growing up and giving up imaginary friends.

My 5 yr. old has an imaginary friend...oh, he knows that he is not real...he just calls him "my buddy"....the first few times he said that I was concerned...I do not remember having an imaginary friend when I was a child....none of my other children have done this before....BUT he has a very active imagination!

I do not remember my imaginary friends but my parents have told me I had them. I also was convinced from the age of 2-4 that I had a twin sister. I would talk about "my twin" this, "my twin" that. Hahaha... how strange!

I thought my oldest daughter had an imaginary friend she would always say Wassie no Wassie and it thought she was telling somebody to not do something and i even said one day what does Wassie look like and she said bown (brown) and ail (tail) so i thought for sure she had herself an imaginary friend then one day i had off work she was watching Dora the Exployer on tv and the fox swiper was about to swipe something and she stated yelling Wassie no Wassie and i said who is that and she pointed at swiper ans said Wassie mommy Wassie mommy. So what i thought was her imaginary friend was her pretending to be dora and trying to keep the sneaky fox swiper from stealing her stuff. She is 6 now and that was when she was 3, but everytime she sits and watches Dora and that fox is about to steal somethign she shouts swiper no swiping and i get a flash back and have to laugh

My children imagine that they have a cafe auntie selling food to them at the corner of our living room... They call her "auntie". Whenever they start playing role game, they will call the "auntie".

*wink* As a writer, I still have imaginary friends. It alarmed the heck out of me the first time, a character suddenly acted differently than what I had outlined; now, it is normal.
