Best of Rafael

Rafael quotes at age six...

~While eating lunch...

Rafael: My tummy hurts

Me: Why don’t you stop eating? 

Rafael: Why would I do that when I love food so much? 

~Michael, Rafael and I were talking about growing up. Michael says he wants to be a geologist when he grows up. Rafael says “when I grow up, I will be joking the whole time”

~The boys have been saving their money to buy a dog. Joey told the kids if they catch the gopher in the backyard eating our flowers he will buy them a dog. Rafael then created this trap seen in this video. Michael never made a trap. He spent some time thinking then came to me and asked how much money a gopher trap would cost. He figured he’d save his money for a gopher trap because it would be cheaper then saving for a dog.

Rafael: Hey mom! Take a picture of me!

Rafael:
