I was in the car today with Cooper and he asked me, "Mom, how many years is college?" And I said, "Four." (although I was there five but there is no need to tell him that!) Then he asked, "Well, how long is high school?" And I answered, "Four years." Cooper sighed and said, "Oh no, that means I will be living away from you for 8 years? I don't like that at all!" I laughed and said, "No, Coop, you live with us during high school and then you move away for college." Again---big sigh---"But 4 years is too long to not live with you. I don't want to live away from you ever." I said, "That is sweet but I am sure you will reconsider when you are older." "No, I don't think so. I want to live with you as long as I can." Yes, Coop, I want that too.....unless you are 35 and still living at home.
