conversations with a 5-year-old take one

Cooper: Ma-sun are you ever going to leave?
Me: Ummm yes Coop, I leave in April for Brazil, remember we talked about this.
Cooper: Ka-zeel? I forgot. Tell me again.
Me: Well I am going to a foreign country and I am learning a new language.
Cooper: What? What is a country?
Me: It's far, far, far away from here. It would take a long while to walk. Maybe like 100 days.
Cooper: Whoa. What? Why would you go there?? Do you like being so far away?
Me: Oh no, but I am excited!

quite....

Cooper: I don't want you to go away. Because then you won't even be able to speak with me if you learn a new language! How will we talk? On the phone??


oh boy.
