For a while now, Max has had an invisible friend. This "bizable" friend sometimes sounds like he's saying "girlfriend" which wouldn't be so bad. This friend is always around yet never has the same name. In fact, the friends' name changes several times a day depending on who Max has seen recently or who we are planning to see soon. His friend also has a sister!
Last night when Andy was in Max's room saying good night, they were just talking and laughing and all of a sudden Max says, "Oh shoot, I forgot to get the eggs from my bizable friend,..... oh, I guess I can get them tomorrow!"
Where did that come from? What does it mean?
When Andy asked me if I knew what Max was talking about, I had no clue. The only thing I can come up with is that our grocery store was out of eggs for several days last week.
Is the invisible friend making my kid crazy? Maybe I've already done that all on my own? Please tell me that he will grow out of this and that the friend will go away all on his own!
I still don't know what triggered his brain to think about eggs. But when I asked him about it today, he said, "since we don't have any, my bizable friend said he has 1000." I told him that I got some yesterday at the store and he said, "Oh! That's good, now my bizable friend can give the eggs to someone else!"
And that was that!
Oh how I wish I could really know what goes on inside their little heads!

My son is just a couple of days younger than Max and also has an invisible friend. For a long time his friend had the same name as my son, but now it is the name of one of our friend's kids. Neither my husband nor I had invisible friends, so I don't know where this came from. You've gotta love the imagination of 4 year olds. They are funny and say the funniest things.
Oh, such imagination! He's going to be one creative little guy when he grows up. Love how he just says it all matter-of-factly, like OF COURSE you should know what he's talking about. :)
He's so stinkin' cute. "Bizable" - I love it! If your eggs start to go missing, good luck!
