We have had an imaginary friend who has been at our house for over two years now. His name is Burpy Slurpy, and he is a burp. He arrived early in 2008, and apparently has been breeding, because there are now multiple burpy slurpies around. Sometimes they come places with us, and sometimes they stay at home. When they ride in the car, they are buckled into the unused seat belt in the middle of the back seat. Will likes to race his burpie slurpies, and he can beat them at getting dressed, swimming, etc. Christopher usually just talks about Burpy Slurpy (the original?), and Will talks about "my burpie slurpies."
If you are paying attention, you may think I can't make up my mind about how to spell our imaginary friends' names: burpy slurpy or burpie slurpie? I asked Christopher about this the other day, and after some thought, he decided that "the males are spelled with a 'y' and the females are spelled with an 'ie'." After which Will said, "Are females girls? All my burpie slurpies are girls."
I can say one thing about my life: it never gets boring! :)
