Very good, yet sad-point, Cassini. I know from having taught school for 20 years that there are many, many children brought into this world in home environments totally devoid of love. They are sometimes simply by-products of their parents' uncontrolled urges, and other times they are actually conceived for the purpose of financial gain for the parent. I've actually had kids tell me that they KNOW their mother only had them so she could collect a govenment check-what must it be like going through life knowing that is the only reason you were born? The more I think about, the more alike the Imaginary Friends of the Foster's Universe and humans in our world are the same.
On the topic of IF's marrying each other, or humans, though-in "My So-Called Wife", no one so much as batted an eyelash at the notion of Coco and Mr. Herriman being married. Indeed, Herriman thought it would make a much better impression on his host if everyone thought that he had a wife, so there does not appear to be any legal restrictions, or societal ones, against two IF's marrying. The original Imaginary flea couple in "Land of the Flea" were apparently married, and definately were fruitful and multiplied! While the show has never really covered the issue of whether an Imaginary Friend and a human can marry or at least have an intimate relationship, it's never been stated or implied that they can't, either. Mac did not express any shock or disgust when Frankie told him that she and Wilt and gone to the prom, although I have to give credit to this kid for being as bright and open-minded as he is. Mac doesn't seem to be all that concerned about what society or the elusive "THEY" think.
