"All children" don't invent invisible friends, only smart ones with a good imganation.

My Mum told me ( I had forgotten) that I had an invisible friend called 'Mr Bailey' when I was about 4. That I used to blame Mr Bailey for every thing. At 5 the good nuns got their talons into me,and it became "the devil made me do it", at least until mum had words with the head nun.Thinking
