Still make for some cute scenarios around here, but heavily plagarised ones.blue milkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341937205299573052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23502762.post-64255806469277995412008-07-13T12:15:00.000+10:002008-07-13T12:15:00.000+10:00We've had Delisha as long as you have had Bedda, a...We've had Delisha as long as you have had Bedda, and she still is around, although since school it's been less and less. She did come away with us to Coles Bay the other weekend though . We also have Emily the Possum now too who looks a lot like Tara and is quite cheeky. Poor Bedda. Hopefully he has found his way to another gorgeously imaginative child :-)traceyleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480148766111646652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23502762.post-71802887718659025692008-07-12T12:04:00.000+10:002008-07-12T12:04:00.000+10:00Well, Bedda is still dead.It's interesting to me t...Well, Bedda is still dead.<BR/><BR/>It's interesting to me that just when Fred has finally grasped the finality of death, she's killed off Bedda. I read a very interesting quote this year about how the monsters/shadows under children's bed are made up of the unsaid (namely sex and death) - perhaps Bedda was partly made up of these things too, and his cration was partly a philosophical wrangling with the nature of existence. His death is a further inquiry along these lines perhaps.<BR/><BR/>Or perhaps it's just the power of creation and destruction.Penni Russonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956453252195293843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23502762.post-70681332144663869052008-07-12T08:48:00.000+10:002008-07-12T08:48:00.000+10:00I understand your grief.

Not surprising, really, considering he lived under the cootmundra wattles where the Eastern Freeway meets Hoddle Street.<BR/><BR/>He was replaced by Tina, who had pink and purple curly hair and arms that reach to the moon. And she was NAUGHTY. keep an eye on that Hallie!lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362725678748958671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23502762.post-85631276860659190212008-07-11T13:06:00.000+10:002008-07-11T13:06:00.000+10:00That's hilarious.

At least Fred seems to be at one with the circle of (imaginary) life.<BR/><BR/>Also, I've been meaning to facebook you to say I raced through Indigo Girls a few weeks ago, such a good read! When I was 16 I could totally have used the geek affirmation of a character like Tilly - so geeky, so cool.<BR/><BR/>MiriamMiriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291963017755049045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23502762.post-40964404592387296612008-07-10T22:49:00.000+10:002008-07-10T22:49:00.000+10:00That's great.

RIP Bedda.<BR/>My kids haven't had really well formed imaginary friends so far - my eldest had a whole fleet of Bens for a while (Ben being his name), but they never had personalities or anything.<BR/><BR/>I had one, Mr Banana, but I shipped him off to America rather than killing him off. I remember trying to bring him back when I was older, but I just couldn't believe.Arianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977679825245376111noreply@blogger.com
