Friday Question #2
What was your favorite thing to pretend when you were a young child?
Oh, it’s so embarrassing, but I must share it, because that’s what I do here – share embarrassing secrets and stories.
I used to pretend that I had an identical twin sister. But I didn’t talk to her like she was an “invisible friend,” because I pretended that she lived in Florida, and that when she came to visit Iowa, I would go stay in Florida in her place. So she sort of “pretend existed” in my mind.
Seems innocent, right? Well, I told one of my friends that I really did have a twin sister who lived in Florida (this was in grade school by the way). And I would pretend that I was the other twin sister from time to time. My friend would say, “Kim?” and I would say, “No, I’m Kim’s twin sister,” and be all snotty about it.
That friend still thinks I have a twin sister.
Just kidding!
