Our Family Our Story

This is a great question to ask others when you’re writing your family history. When I put this question to a group of 20 women recently, most of them had had an imaginary friend in their childhood. They hadn’t thought about these childhood memories for years.

Some of the friends were children around their own age and quite a few had pets, a dog, cat or a bird ….. mine was a horse called “My Lovely” that trotted along behind our family car. One lady had a pet monkey that was a bit naughty and wouldn’t come inside at night.

Our own children had a pair called Big Gossey and Little Gossey. I don’t know what they were these Gosseys but when anything went wrong it was always one of the Gosseys who did it, usually it was Big Gossey’s fault.

When you ask a few questions, you’re bound to find a story about some imaginary friends.
