"Pa, please do not leave me here. I am afraid. A monster is beneath my bed and it wants to bring me to his dark kingdom. Please pa. Sleep with me and do not turn off the lights!" This is what one usually hears from young kids who have their own rooms and who are left alone in their room with the lights out. Or you may also see your daughter saying: "Hello my friend. Why have I not seen you yesterday? Did you get sick or did your mommy not allow you to come out and play? No problem. I understand, so what drink will you have today? After our little afternoon party can we play outside?" Now this is really creepy especially if you look and it turns out that your daughter is sitting alone, facing her side and talking to nobody in particular. It turned out that your daughter has an imaginary friend. We always dismiss imaginary friends, being too common in children, as a result of an over active imagination. This imagination is something that better left ignored for all children will outgrow that phase anyway.
Albert Einstein was once heard of having said: " Imagination is better than knowledge." I believe that this little saying (from the guy whose own knowledge discovered relativity and the process of nuclear fusion and fission which resulted to the atomic bomb) as very true. As we grow older, we tend to forget the simple things. We have become like Susan who does not believe in the existence of the country in a far away land, Narnia. We get caught up in our own world of grown up problems: paying electric and water bills, paying mortgage interests, being fired from a job, dimming eyesight and slower muscles. Our lives have lost its magic and meaning!
Now close your eyes and imagine that you are a long haired pony with almost a human like smile cantering the catwalk (or horsewalk. whatever) while thousands of cameras flash. You are a star: a pony star! As you slowly open your eyes, does it not feel great? It is not Harry Potter in his magical school Hogwarts. And It is not even JRR Tolkien in his much loved book (The movie was critically acclaimed too. Just count the money it received for filming and the number of Oscar nominations that it received.
It is simply the world of Bratz games. Bratz games is a world of imagination where all girls big or small, rich or poor do actually look beautiful. Bratz games managed to maintain the child like wonder and imagination. With Bratz games, you can be anybody there, you can do anything there and you can actually feel that your dreams could come true. You can be a princess if that what makes you happy. You can even become a fish if you imagine it to be if you play Bratz Fish Tank. Bratz games, ladies and gentlemen, the possibilities are simply and undeniably endless.
