    Apparently when I was 2 or 3 I had an imaginary friend who lived in the palm of my hand. I always said he was my brother. (I don't have a brother)
    And I'd cry if anybody held my hand cause I thought they'd squish my "brother" :o
    What a freak of a child I was......

    I did when I was a kid. I used to tell him to do strange things like stick a screwdriver in a plug socket and pull a boiling pot of water on his head.

    Good times!

    Apparently I used to talk an invisible monkey when I was small. Even the imaginary kids wouldn't talk to me.

    No imaginary friend but I did have an imaginary football league for when the other kids were hanging out in the 'No Leggo's Club' (they already had one Leggo before I asked to join) and I had to play by myself.

    No, I never had an imaginary friend. I talked to Barbie dolls a lot though, when I was a child. My mam always teases me about it - says she just used to stand outside my room laughing her head off at the things I was saying. Cringe.

    I was just talking to Sandra. Apparently she doesn't want to be your friend anymore. She doesn't like you. She said she want's to hang out with me. Which is ok i suppose.
