Imagination…or Possession?

And now kids, for another rousing round of Imagination…or Possession?

  1. Weird shoe patterns
  2. Waiting until people are out of the room and then arranging all the file cabinet magnets in a row
  3. Introducing me to her invisible friend (Sennas?  just guessing at the spelling based on her pronunciation of a name I’ve never heard before) and insisting I give him/her/it a hug
  4. Utter obsession with one of those little tiny white beads you find in bean bag toys.  She calls it a bean and carries it around lovingly talking to it.
  5. Love affair / giving identity to personal body products, IE fingernails (she pronounces it “inny-ails”), hair clippings.  She gives them voices and carries on conversations with them.

Results:

  1. Leaning towards possession here, because this is really sudden, and really weird.
  2. Clearly a parental mind game.  Calling this one out as imagination.
  3. Hello? Possession!
  4. Imagination here.  I think.
  5. 50/50 split here.  If the inny-ails and hair start saying REDRUM, I’ll be more decisive.
