Cool Kid

We were doing our normal after school homework and chores routine today when Cooper strolled into the dining room. As I tidied, he spoke in a nonchalant manner, "Mom, did you know that cool kids follow their dreams?"

I tried to process what he had just told me, but I felt like I was missing information. "Oh?" I replied. "Which dreams?"

Cooper was not deterred by my silly question, "You know, their dreams. I'm a cool kid, because I follow my dreams."
