- Why not play along with it? I remember having an imaginary friend for years
- (and so did my brother and sister). I think they can actually be quite useful
- sometimes as distractors - e.g. 'I can't hear so-and-so crying - why are you so
- unhappy'.

- I don't think any of our family got permanently affected by our little friends!
