The nice thing about imaginary friends is that when they bully you or generally behave unpleasantly, you can just swap 'em out for a new friend – maybe of the same name.
Here’s how Will traded in his old friend Ally yesterday:
I have a new Ally Mama, 'cause the old Ally wasn’t being nice.
He wasn’t? What did the old Ally do?
He poked me.
So what did you do about that?
I poured LEGOs all over him. And then I got a new Ally.
How does that work?
You just get it and pump it up and it turns into a new Ally.
Nothing like inflatable – and deflatable – friends for taking the headache out of conflict resolution. Ally and Puff and Will periodically push each other to the ground or hit each other – and Will’s none the worse for wear. No bruises, no blood, no tears. It’s my kind of roughhousing.
