But *that* would be lying.
Liesel
You’re lucky I haven’t made my wallpaper the picture of you with those jingle bells stuck in your nose.
Cooper
You *should* make that your wallpaper. That picture is solid gold.
Liesel
Why haven’t you posted it to your public page, then?
Cooper
IDK. Baby Coop was so heartbroken.
Liesel
Aw. Your face was so red from crying. :(
Cooper
I thought it would make my mom laugh. I had big visions of walking around the house tricking her into thinking Santa was coming. She laughed at first and sent the video of me jingling and jangling to my dad. But then when she told me to get them out and they wouldn’t, she panicked.
Liesel
That’s hilarious. Poor Momma. Did she take you to the hospital?
Cooper
No. That’s part of why she panicked. My dad used to be a long haul trucker, so he wasn’t home to take me. Her social anxiety kicked in kind of hard.
Liesel
I’m sorry.
Cooper
It’s okay. She searched for what to do and found out if she blew air hard through my mouth, they’d pop out on their own. Disgusting, but it worked.
Liesel
Haha. That’s nasty, but sweet. I want to give Baby Coop a hug.
Cooper
Nah, Baby Coop thought girls were even worse than snotty jingle bells.
Big Coop would take one, though.
Liesel
You do not quit, do you?
Cooper
Not since I met you.
