One morning a few days ago and completely out of the blue, Rory started talking about 'The Spiderwitch'. At first we thought that maybe she meant a sandwich made of spiders or wishes made by spiders, until I remembered these books I put on her shelves for when she's older, that I'd obviously told her the title of and that had stuck in her mind, assuming it to be the name of the creature on the cover.
For a full day she continued to tell us things about the Spiderwitch, such as how he'd drank all of the milk and how he likes to hide in the dark places in the house, so she and her Daddy spend much of that day and the next hunting the Spiderwitch around the house with our newly acquired torch that she is equally taken with.
It was adorable.
But as adorable as imaginary friends can be, they are equally as creepy. So after watching her holding conversations with her hand for enough time to venture into Danny Torrence territory, I decided to make her an actual, physical buddy.
Isn't he hideous? We love him intensely.
