Imagination

Lots of kids have imaginary friends.  I had imaginary dogs (shh--don't tell!).  Sara, however, has an imaginary foe:  Mr. McGregor.  She has long talked about Mr. McGregor who chases Peter Rabbit in one of her books.  She is inexplicably scared of him, no matter how many times I've assured her that he is not real.  Today, though, she informed me that she couldn't sit in her seat at the table because "Gregor in it."
