Since yesterday was Earth Day, I took Raphael to a park and showed him a riverbed where turtles love to roam. I had no idea how distraught this would make him. He immediately started to talk about how endangered the homes of his turtle kin have become, and about the dark aspects of being a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, who as many of you know, are forced to live in sewers. I took this photo when Raph was at his lowest moment, reaching for the water and asking why there was so much injustice in the world. It was a very emotional day for him. Today he is in bed and watching reruns of The Price Is Right. I’m not sure if he’s OK, I’m gonna go make some tea for him.
