I love the way their minds think at this age.
S has lots of stuffed animals. She names nearly all of them “Daisy.” I have no idea why. I asked her once. She shrugged and said, “It’s a pretty name. I like it.”
J, on the other hand, almost never gives his animals a name. His blue bear is named Blue Bear. His red bear is named Red Bear. His hedgehog is named–you got it–Hedgehog.
When it comes to imaginary friends, though, J wins. S doesn’t have imaginary friends. She doesn’t see any need. Her various Daisies are all she requires. J has several, all with interesting names. My favorites are Question Mark and Semicolon. Of course, they do come in handy when he writes his stories.
Did you have an imaginary friend as a kid? What did you call him or her?
