In an attempt to read an author besides JKR, I know heaven forbid, I
found an interesting quote.
>From JD Salinger's set of short stories names Nine Stories:
Second story entitled Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut (pg 26)
The four year old Ramona was asked by her mom Eloise what her
imaginary friend looked like...
E>"Stand up, please...Tell Mary Jane how Jimmy looks."
R>"He has green eyes and black hair."
E>"What else?"
R>"No mommy and no daddy."
E>"What else?"
R>"No freckles."
E>"What else?"
R>"A sword."
Maybe I have spent too many of my days in Potterland, but our little
"imaginary friend" fits that description quite well.
(as a side note, I highly recommend one of Salinger's other sets of
short stores named Franny and Zooey. Excellent pair of two short
stories.)
