CHRISTOPHER, HOW OLD R U?

  CHRISTOPHER BOFFOLI, photographer

How is your bed? My bed is a bunk bed that has been split into two.  My little brother sleeps in the other part of the bed on his side of the room.  My sheets have pictures of my favorite Star Wars characters on them.  And there is a line of stuffed animals that live at the foot of the bed.  My covers are magical and protect me from any monsters that might try to catch me in the night. Which kind of meal you do not like? And your favourite? I like food and I am not a picky eater.  But for some reason I do not like foods that are black:  black olives, black licorice, eggplant (which is really dark purple but looks black).  My favorite food is French fries with ketchup. Your favorite book to read? My favorite book is Katy and the Big Snow by Virginia Burton Lee.  I live in the Northeastern part of the United States (near Boston) where the winters are very cold with much snow.  So I like the book, which is about a big snow storm and a very brave snowplow that saves the whole town by plowing away all of the snow. Have you got an imaginary friend? No. I do not have any imaginary friend.  But I am a very creative child with an over-actice imagination.  I am always making up stories and telling lies to make life more interesting.

When I lie in bed - I draw there, and put stickers and nobody know about it…Which kind of meal you do not like?

Your favorite book to read? I'm just five and I'm not really interested in reading. I like to watch funny cartoons and play.  Do you have an imaginary friend ? Yes I have plenty of imaginary friends, and I talk to them and play with them in my room. My dolls are also my best friends. I'm looking after them and like when they listen to me.
