Gopnik

This essay really intrigued me. I have never heard of anything remotely like a child with an imaginary friend who is always too busy to play with them. It actually is quite odd and funny at the same time. Then to go on and say that, the imaginary friend has an assistant who takes his calls is almost absurd. Ah, but the wonders of a child's imagination. The intensity is actually quite astounding if a child really can create a whole imaginative society in which she and her "friend" lives. All this coming from a child who is just interpreting the world around her as she sees it. Like I said, intriguing.
