Sara: Childhood is like a theme park, but there's no re-entry. Once you're in the car park, you have to stay in the car park.
Alex: A car park outside a theme park? What a bleak conception of adulthood.
Alex and Sara are worried. Their daughter Lee starts school soon and they think her best friend Ernie is going to be a problem.
It isn’t that he is badly behaved or mischievous, the problem with Ernie is that he is imaginary.
They hatch a plan to force their daughter to grow up and to get rid of Ernie. But as the plan begins to work they learn a lesson that parents usually have to teach their children – Be careful what you wish for.
