Help! Lucy's being a dickhead, wisdom needed

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Ok so lucky has this imaginary friend. Her name is Gurgur (guessing on the spelling there). 

Whenever lucifer gets in trouble, she blames Gurgur.  Gurgur drew on her. Gurgur knocked the clothes over. Gurgur screamed. 

What the fuck, man? How do I deal with this without destroying her imaginary "sister"?

I have to ask, did you mean to type lucifer? Because that cracked me up.

[pantsparty]

PROTEIN.

Put friend in time out the same way you would with Lucy. They can keep each other company together.

[TrickyBob]

I'm dying at Lucifer.

[azurely]

Lol at Lucifer.

I agree with pp, put them both in time out. Or make them both wash the marker off their hand. Or whatever the punishment, Gurgur can do it with her.

[MWOS]

Freud is giggling somewhere.

Or snorting coke.

Whatever

I'm with nicbreeful and karmasabiotch.

"Oh no. Gurgur needs a time out. Lucy please keep her company."
"Lucy, please help Gurgur clean up the mess she made."

DD has been doing this with her toys.

Sonic made her run like a maniac in the tile store the other day.

Mater was the one that wouldn't let her get buckled in the car seat.

Giraffe is the reason she talked back to me, because giraffe doesn't want to do that.

I basically told her that she is responsible for her toys actions and if her toys misbehave then both her toy and her will get in trouble for it.

(it's super awesome when she's all "I didn't say that, you need to tell Mater not to say it" I may have been close to throwing her toy out the window of the car a time or two.)

When I was a kid, if one kid in our group did something bad, we all got punished. My parents reasoning is that if I knew some kid was bad or a troublemaker, I shouldn't play with him. And that was that. Group punishments!!' For real and imaginary friends.

Works for siblings too.

I had an imaginary friend named Doder Deeder. We often got punished together. THAT BASTARD ALWAYS DID EVERYTHING WRONG. I was an angel.

My imiganary friend named red pop used to eat food when no one was looking. Apparently I had issues with food even as a toddler.

just wanted to let you know I was a lurky-loo who clicked but didn't comment. I have no advice, I'm not there yet. I'm learning from input though, filing it away for future use.

When I pulled the same thing as a kid, my mom gave me an ultimatum: if my friend couldn't behave, I couldn't play with him anymore. I knew that meant that she would not put up with me telling her he did something wrong the next time I was in trouble, because that meant *I'd* be in trouble for letting him "hang around." Either way, I was gonna be punished.
