Does this make sense?

I can't make sense of this sentence:

Although they may seem real to their creators, children usually understand that their imaginary friends are not real.

Surely the creators are the children themselves, which makes it nonsensical. Fustbariclation (talk) 10:47, 13 October 2024 (UTC) Fustbariclation (talk) 10:47, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does this include imaginary romantic partners?
