Invisible discipline

As we were leaving the house today, Rebecca came running up to me.  "mommy, mommy..." She had a very concerned look on her face.  I was worried, what was wrong? "Mommy, my invisible boyfriend just hit me TWO TIMES!" Oh wow. How are you supposed to deal with an invisible boyfriend hitting your daughter?  I tried my best.  Everything I did was wrong.  In the end she decided to keep him locked up in the car while we went to the post office.  
This is the continuation to something that has been going on since school started.  She told me she has an invisible boyfriend-brother.  She told me that they kiss each other.  I told her, "we don't kiss until we're in college."  She said, "but I kiss Joseph and he is my brother so I can kiss my invisible boyfriend-brother."  She also told me that he is my child and that he was born on October 15th, just like her.  Smarty-pants.

This is hilarious! What a great imagination. I don't envy you having to deal with boyfriends already...especially abusive invisible ones:)

Oh boy. I have a feeling you are in for it when this one gets a little bigger. If not already:)
