Did you have an imaginary friend growing up?

[Barb]

My nephew, Ethan, had a sawed-off broom handle that he painted a face on, and called 'him', "Cousin Ed."

He brought "Cousin Ed" to our house one night and said that he wanted to take him to our family picnic/reunion...I told him in no uncertain terms that he was NOT bringing that broom to our family deal...he just looked at me, but brought it anyway, leaving it in the car.

But the funny thing was that night when he left our house, Ethan hugged us goodbye and left.

A moment later the door slightly opened, he stuck the broom inside, and said, "Cousin Ed says goodnight!!"

I was almost on the floor...
