Imaginary Friends...what age?

[munter]

The bosses kid appears to be teaching an imaginary lesson to a bunch of imaginary people using the Whiteboard.

Is this normal for a 10yo? Frankly i'd like to tell him to shut up, but what age should he be before he stops thinking out loud? And this has to be better than him waving the stanly knife at me again...

Perhaps he is rehearsing a presentation that he is giving you tomorrow. If he has a laptop rigged up to a projector, be very afraid.

Who is the oldest religious type you know?

Question answered?

[mutt k]

Oooh, Powerpoint! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[lotuslad]

He's a kid. Kids play. He's probably copying his father.

Come on, you've never done a Murray Walker commentary when tackling a challenging set of corners?

I have to say i'm very interested in his version of Maths!

2/4 is the same as 6/8....ummmm must be training to be an accountant or something

He'll go far in management with a head for figures like that

Maybe it's just his way of thinking - when I've written a presentation piece or a letter I read it out as though I'm reading it to someone else, and when I'm 'thinking out loud' and no-one's around I do tend to vocally 'bounce ideas' off myself.

Might I remind you this is a 10 year old...

However if you hear him utter the words "think outside the box", "blue sky thinking", "run it up the flagpole", "touch base" or other wänkwords, please smack him. It's for his own good.

Incredible, I was having this conversation last night with my mate, Humphrey The Bunny.

How do I know that you're all real, after all, you look like "ones" and "zeroes" ?

[John75]

I never had an imaginary friend myself but I know this girl who had an imaginary boyfriend.

We used to wind her up and ask her why he never came down the pub and she would always make up some excuse.

Mind you she was also highly gullable cus I told her i got arrested by PC Stamp for stealing post on the 1st April and she never twigged it was a joke.

I was wondering where he had got too. Is he still on the booze? Give him my regards.

My imaginary friend Timmy only ever shuts up when I do what he says. It's OK though, the things he tells me to burn are normally fairly flammable, so I don't have to use too much petrol...

I used to have an imaginary friend called Fred when I lived down south as there weren't many kids my age.
I was 3 when we moved up north but poor little Freddy broke his leg and couldn't come and meet all the new real friends I made!

My son from age 3-5 had 2 'friends' named Bob and Jack. They were involved in quite a bit of mischief around my house- marking the walls, breaking things and generally leaving messes everywhere. When we moved, we had to make sure Bob and Jack were going to be OK before we left.

Hell, my two imaginary friends are popping over later for a drink and stuff. Two underwear models by the names Stacey and Chelsea. Great girls.

I think I know him; he's moved into the house next door last year. Fred is a nice chap, we have a few beers occasionally.
Guess he's happy to hear you're well and posting, Lois

Hows his leg
