Lanka

Did you ever have an imaginary friend when you were little?

My niece will be seven years old this July. I don't know how she got so big so fast. Anyway when she was about three or four she had an imaginary Husband. Yes a husband. His name was Lanka. He had Orange and purple hair, and he worked a lot. She is no longer with Lanka but he is still around. During the time Lanka was around my niece attended the school where I work. The person who was making the Alphabet train mural heard about Lanka and painted him into the mural. Most days I pass him without a thought but sometimes I see him and am reminded of my petite little niece who had a husband and wanted to play queen not princess because princesses are kids and queens are adults.
