Conversations with Cooper
February 4, 2011 
In car:
Cooper: What is that one word that means to be in disguise?
Me: Um, disguised?
Cooper: No, a cooler one.
Me: Hmm..um…oh, incognito?
Cooper: Yeah! That’s it! Is that Chinese?
Me: No. It’s English.
Cooper: So it’s Spanish?
Me: No. I just told you that it’s English.
Cooper: Can’t be.

In car, Part II:
In response to Sophie having a lengthy and crazy meltdown in the backseat, I tried to think of a song to sing to soothe her, which almost always works. For some reason, the first song to come to mind was Home on the Range, so I start belting it out.
Cooper: What is that all about?!
Me: It’s a cool song. It’s a song cowboys sing.
Cooper: Why?
Me: Because it gives them something to sing while they ride around on their horses. It’s just what they do. Cool, huh?
Cooper: But we don’t have a horse.
Me: I know.
Cooper: But horses are cute.
Me: Yeah, they are kinda cute.
Cooper: But Zhu Zhu pets are cuter.
Cooper, Zhu Zhu Pets are NOT cute. They get lost under furniture and speak their crazy moon language hours after you’ve put them down. And you can’t shut them off. NOT CUTE.
Heh heh.
I think from now on, you have to post something that Cooper says every single day. I really need to laugh like that, and it would be a nice start to a very long day. He is my favorite four year old ever!
I have to second Alicia’s comment, Zhu Zhu pets are the suck! But, Cooper is the coolest! He cracks me up!
I agree. A cooperism a day. I always stand up and cheer when I hear the words of your scarily clever boy!
