imaginary friend
Linda in Wisconsin
My youngest daughter had an imaginary friend when she was about 6-7 years old. It was Big-Big-Nanna. It wasn't big banana as we were corrected often when we said that. It wasn't my big nanna either because her only grandparent was called "Bestie". Big Big Nanna was famous, traveled the world, was a movie star, lived in the neighborhood, but was always on a trip. She was seen on tv as a ballerina, singer and talk show host. She was in the hospital at the same time as my daughter was and comforted her when we weren't there. Big Big Nanna made wonderful food that she would occasionally share with only my daughter. We occasionally bring her up in conversation and teasing now that my daughter is a young adult, but we have fond memories of her.
