We are not alone
My daughter's daughter is, shall we say, slightly eccentric. The other day, she spent a whole hour here making only noises a dog might make, and being just as disobedient, completely unresponsive to requests or conversations in English. Another time she was "George" (deep voice, 4 year old girl style), who was living with Holly because his parents didnt want him any more, and Holly had abandoned Melissa. She would respond only to "George". And then she was "Harry Potter" because she could then go out with her mum because her mum was beautiful.

I used to have a family of crocodiles that lived in my house. They were very tiny, like the ones I got in a kinder surprise. They has a little tunnle system that meant they could go everywhere....oh and I apparently used to have conversations with my food, especialy peas. Your granddaughter isn't odd.
Who on earth does she get it from?
Let’s hope your daughter’s daughter will be able to stay a bit eccentric. At least that way she won’t become a boring or ordinary adult.
I had imaginary friends too. Two of them. They went everywhere with us on their bicycles. They even had children of their own, and I had imaginary acquaintances through them, who were more their friends than mine. I couldn't see one of these acquaintances, although I always knew where he was, so he was called Nothing.
They were great. I don't know when they went away, but they gradually did.
My real friends are bad enough, maybe imaginary ones would be a whole lot easier. An imaginary 24 year old honeypot would be a nice start.
She sounds great! :[]
