In my family, we shared our son's early years with a talking worm named San Francisco.
Facebook friends might seem imaginary, too, but some I asked came back with these accounts of fantastical creatures that inhabit otherwise normal-looking homes in Arkansas and elsewhere:
• A horde of pirates.
• A pair of friends -- Um, a quiet little girl, good listener; and Dean, a livelier companion always ready to take the blame for mischief.
• Jumanji from Walpoka.
• The Wallabies from Watway.
• An imaginary planet.
