Imaginary friends!

Aw! Glad it is only that. Just made me think of it as he is tiny so he fits in a pocket, I thought she may be linking that with an imaginary friend iyswim. I have never watched the programme but the write up of it scares me, a tiny grandpa that lives in your pocket! ha ha! I bet the kids love it though, he must be a fun grandad!

At 4 your lad is more than likely not trying to wind him up Although amusing


She calls him Grandfather - her real Grandfathers are both 'Grandads' ... I even call mine 'Grandad' still..

I just showed her the link to the Cbeebies Grandpa in my pocket and asked if that was her Grandfather - she said yes... and asked if she could watch it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


Bad Mummy! I had no idea that was even a programme!

That's brilliant!:rotfl:

I can tell you about it as my DD loves it.

He lives with the boy & the boys parents. The parents think he is old & ill (often having a snooze in bed) but really he has a magic shrinking cap which he puts on to get small & have adventures!

My eldest had an imaginary cat called Snowy and a friend called Bam the very important baby.

Whenever he was asked if he wanted to do something or what he wanted to eat/drink etc., he had to consult with Bam and find out what Bam wanted. He was never just Bam though, he always refered to him as Bam the very important baby :rotfl:

So cute! My 4 year old twins spent about 18 months insisting that they were puppies. They're getting out of it now... well, it's not constant anyways, though is still daily. And they still bark at me....

I've not heard of that Grampa program either.

My daughter had Zippy, Bungle and George living with us, they lived under our table, aparently I was always getting Bungle's fur caught in the hoover. Naughty mummy.:rotfl: They used to come shopping with us, got told off for putting my bags on the child seats, couldn't I see that zippy and george were sitting in them. Bungle aparently was holding on to the side. She used to scare her brother saying they were in his bed.

I just thanked god that Geoffrey, Rod, Jane and Freddy weren't living with us too

Our youngest granddaughter had

"A grandmother that lived up the mountain" She had plenty of food "As she worked in Tesco"

What her Grandmother didn't know was not worth knowing.

She is a teenager now and does not even remember it
