It could be something like “america’s funniest home videos,” yes. Hard to get really little kids play-act that spontaneously.
First time ever that some parent saw their kid playing with their imaginary friend.
Suitable behavior for a young child - but sad when it is the daddy that will never be coming home.
We were out with a couple and their adult child with mental disabilities. Very high functioning, can keep a job with close supervision, shy but will speak to you. She mentioned something to her mom about how she was worried about Samantha being left alone for so long at home alone, she was pretty upset by it.
Turns out Samantha is her imaginary friend.
