”Bumping into Mr. Ravioli” is an essay from the magazine The New Yorker, it was broadcasted the 30th of September, 2002. It is written by Adam Gopnik.
The essay is about a girl called Olivia, who has an invisible friend called Charlie Ravioli, her mother is a bit worried for Olivia, because it isn’t normal for a child to have an invisible friend who never has time to play or talk and sometimes he even is too busy to say he is too busy. Olivia’s mother makes contact with her sister, who is a developmental psychologist that specializes in childhood behaviors for young children.
The sister assures Olivia’s mother that Charlie Ravioli is nothing to be worried about, but Olivia’s mother wasn’t comfortable with Olivia’s invisible friend. Finally, Olivia’s mother figures out that Charlie Ravioli is just a typical New Yorker who is always busy and when she tells her sister about it, her sister suggest they move from New York.
Ravioli is Olivia’s invisible friend, he is a very busy person and he lives in an apartment “on Madison and Lexington” he dines on grilled chicken, fruit, and water. He is seven and a half, he feels “old” and in the end he is always to busy to play with Olivia, Ravioli seemed pavement-bound and has joined a gym, he is like an ordinary New Yorker: fit, opinionated, and trying to break into show business.
