Imaginary Family

When Lucy is upset she likes to imagine everyone she loves surrounding her.  For instance, when she gets a shot at the doctor's office, we list all of the people who love her - mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins - to get through the ordeal.  The other night I enforced a consequence she didn't see coming.  She burst into tears and was truly upset.

Lucy: "I want everyone in the whole family to be with me."
Me: "Well, Dad and I are right here."
Lucy: "Not from THIS family!  I want my imaginary family!"

Oooo ... burn.
