Children are deprived of their creativity by well meaning adults. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interested read. There is good imagery.

Thanks for reading, Tier. If you think it's great, why did you give me only a four. It doesn't matter, I'm just wondering...
-
Ohhhhh my goodness Maria. You know I never give fours not on purpose. The stupid computer does that sometimes with out me even realizing it. I click on five and then I see that it clicked four instead. I SWEAR TO YOU THAT WAS NOT MY INTENTION. I would never do that on purpose. If I want to give a four I just would not review it. That was a computer error, please believe me. I will go back to fix it. Im sorry but it was not intentional. You have always supported me and I totally support you.
-
Don?t worry, Tier.The same thing happened to me once.
-
Oh, I changed it to the 5 stars. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I hate when this hapopens because I hate when someone gives me 4 stars so I always ask them if they intended to do it and why. (hahaha) This is why I would never give fours star or less because I don't like them myself. I only give 5 or 6 stars or I won't review. Much love. Please always bring this to my attention. Remember I work over night so sometimes I forget to make sure that the computer didn't jump to the four instead of the five. I saw it do this a few times before.

Seriously, don't worry. I just told you because I thought it must have been an accident. Take care.

Comment from DR DIP
It's funny how young children can have imaginary friends. It must be a security blanket to them. Do you remember the movie Drop dead Fred? lol Thanks for sharing Helen's imaginary friend.

This is a fun entry for the 'Dribble Flash Fiction' writing prompt.
Your cartoon picture is a good match as well.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written dribble flash fiction. We all seem to have an imaginary friend in our lives until we realize they cannot be real and we seem to forget all about our friend who was like our shadow.

Comment from Dean Kuch
The "thing" whose hand that tiny tyke is holding looks a lot like the Babadook, Maria, minus the top hat.
Helen always asked my opinion before taking a decision,...Shouldn't this read "making" a decision?
Awww. Helen got too old for her imaginary playmate, huh?
That'll happen.
Good story, Maria.
Best of luck in the Dribble Flash Fiction contest.

Both taking and making are possible.
Thanks for reading.

Oh, okay.
If you say so.
You're welcome.

To take a decision is British English, but I have changed it to making all the same, following your advice. Even in Britain taking is usually reserved for important political decisions.

I got 'cha.
I will have to remember that.

Hi, Maria
= Ooooh, I think if a kid didn't have an imaginary friend while growing up is more rare than not.
= A right of passage, so to speak.
Cheers, J
