I decided I am really lonely. My parents are busy doing things all day that the only time they get to play with me is before bedtime. I think it’s an hour before bedtime. I wish my friends could come and play with me everyday, but they have their own things they do. They have siblings that will play with them. Only a few times they’ve come over to play. So, I made my own friend that will be with me all the time. It’s a blue elephant my size that stands up on it’s two hind feet and it’s name is Georgie. First thing I could think of.

Georgie just faded into existence and said, “Hey! How’s it goin’, wanna swing?” and Georgie sat on the swing next to the swing I swing on. I got so excited I did a little dance and squealed. I had someone to play with. I sat on my swing and we started rocking back and forth.

We both giggled and then I asked Georgie, “Are you having fun? I know something that’s even more fun than this.”

And Georgie replied, “Cool! Let’s do it!” and I ran inside to ask momma if I could ride my bike.

She said, “Yes, but only to the post office,” which is three houses away from ours. So I ran outside and told Georgie we were going to ride our bikes to the post office and back.

Georgie looked excited, then confused and asked, “What am I goin’ to ride on? I don’t have a bike”. We both frowned.

“What if I imagine you have a bike? Then a bike will appear, right?” I asked Georgie while hopping up and down.

“Why yes, I think that’s how it works. Ooh! How exciting!” Georgie said shaking with happiness. I started to imagine really hard that Georgie had a bike and the next time I looked at Georgie, there was a bike too.

“Yay!” we both shouted. Then we hopped on our bikes and rode to the post office.

Georgie is such a kind elephant. When I fell on the sidewalk and skinned my knee, Georgie helped me up and comforted me with kind words till we got back to my house. Georgie sat by my side all the time when my momma was fixing my scrape. Then Georgie and I had ice cream together and talked about all the funny things that happened today.

When momma called us in for dinner we sat next to each other and I introduced Georgie to momma. She said she was pleased to meet Georgie, though I don’t know how she can see Georgie. After dinner Georgie and I got ready for bed and we watched some PBS Kids. Then we both got into my bed and momma read us a book for an hour. The last thought I had before falling asleep was that I could not wait till Georgie and I played again tomorrow.
