We've been trying to get Raphy to call all of us sisters "noona" which is Korean for "zehzeh" (big sister). Of course, we've been getting it wrong the whole time, getting him to call us "uni", which is supposed to be for younger sisters to call older sisters, not younger brothers.. so he's all confused! And now when we try to get him to say "noona", he folds his arms defiantly and demands, "No noona! I only want to say zehzeh!" or sighs, looks down and pleas pitifully, "Can I just say zehzeh?".
Rachel has been trying to get Raphy to say "noona, kajima!" which means, big sister, don't leave! And mom gets mad at her for doing that, because she's really leaving, and really, no matter how adorable Raphy sounds when he says that, Rachel's not going to be able to stay! So right now it's "noona" or "noona, sarangheyo!" or "big sister, I love you!"
All together now: awwww!
With Love from Raphy
Me
My name is Raphael, but everyone calls me Raphy. I was born with cerebral palsy, the quadriplegic kind. But I'm in ABR Asia, where my mom and Uncle Leonid are
doing everything to make me better :) I have 3 sisters, Rachel, Debo, and Oli, and they all love me very much--as do my Dad and Mom! I love doing arts and crafts with my sisters,
and I LOVE watching cartoon network and disney channel, especially Ben 10!! Join me and the rest of my family on my blog! Feel free to leave comments and questions!
