Olivia's First Imaginary Friend

Recently we noticed Olivia was doing a lot more role playing on her own, and seemed to really be talking to somebody. We started paying more attention and noticed that she was talking to someone named Regella. Sort of a creepy, evil name to begin with, if you ask me... "Olivia, is Regella your friend?" "Yes, Mommy. She's silly." Awww, how cute. Her first imaginary friend. Well, it was cute until "Regella" was the one who mysteriously started to color in the tile grout with crayons, draw in marker on the playroom furniture and other assorted fun things that Olivia didn't want to get in trouble for. One day I pressed Olivia to tell me more about "Regella." "She's a monster, Mommy, and sometimes she wants to eat me." Oh really? That was that. Regella was ceremoniously kicked out of the house and was told not to return ever again (Olivia was concerned that we actually "kicked" her.) Who you gonna blame the wall drawings on now, Olivia??
