Sometimes kids do the 'you stand here while I do ...' and that sort of 'ritual' to be in charge and those kids are the outgoing, take charge sort of kids. It's her chance to tell you what to do and where to stand, etc. She's asking the questions. As for the imaginary friends, I had one about her age. I think I'm fine now. I used to follow my mother around asking her how to spell the friends name and tried to sound it out myself. Her name was Ronshronidy or was it Ronshronedy? Or was the 'd' a 't'? Who knew? :-)
