Childhood- Blog 4

I never thought that childhood would be considered as an altered state of consciousness, but now since I've read on it, I can see it. As a child, you had your real life friends , but the best friends you can ever had were the imaginary one and some of us also had imaginary beverages like tea, coffee and biscuits. My mother told me that my name imaginary friend name was Little Pony. She told me the reason why i named her Little Pony because i wanted the My Little Pony doll. She also told me that I would to talk to my friend in my room and in the bathroom, but when my family and I would go places, Pony couldn't go and I always asked my mother and grandmother and they said because she needed a nap. Well, i got older and i guess my imaginary friend went away. What I am saying is that children have a an innocent mind set to talk to their imaginary friends and drink invisible tea the cute tea sets because they don't know yet that the altered state is abnormal to talk to themselves. Honestly, i can be a big kid when one of my younger cousins, nieces or nephews ask me come to a tea party, comb the barbies hair or play wrestling figures with them.
