The Sophie-Cooper Cell Phone Call
After a whole three days of Cooper missing preschool, his mom gave her phone number to me so that Sophie could call him. This was great news for Sophie, especially because she wore her Supergirl shirt to school on Tuesday fully expecting to “WOW” Cooper. Imagine her dismay after she wasted a perfectly good Supergirl t-shirt day without her favorite Superhero present to appreciate it.
Apparently they are both Superheroes now that Cooper gave Sophie her super powers. We’re still a little fuzzy on the details of how it works. But they’re Superhero names are SuperSophie and SuperCooper. If that’s not hilarious enough, I sure wish I had some of Sophie’s super power demonstrations on video for you. She’s faster than a tired mama. More powerful than a cup of coffee. She can leap tall couches with a single bound. Her landing, however, is not always graceful. I’ve confirmed that SuperCooper did, in fact, give Sophie her super powers and I have requested that he take a few back. He said he would try and take some back. Good luck, Cooper.
After a whole week of no preschool together, Sophie was very excited to hear the news that she could call Cooper. I forced a straight face and hid my amusement as I handed her my cell.
And then we entered Freaky Friday where Courtney or some other seventeen-year-old traded places with Sophie.
*Phone conversation
Sophie: Is this you? It’s Sophie.
Calls ends. Possibly a dropped call. Phone rings.
Me: Hello?
Cooper’s Dad?: ??
Me: This is Sophie’s mom, Rena. Sophie wanted to talk to Cooper.
Cooper: Is Sophie there?
Sophie: Hello? (sarcastically) I don’t know. (pause) I don’t know. (pause) I DON’T KNOW! (heavy sighs)
Me: Sophie, don’t be rude!
Sophie: (Mumbles. Pulls phone away from ear. Presses end dramatically. Sighs.) I don’t want to talk to him anymore!
Me: SOPHIE! You can’t just hang up on him. That was very rude. YOU called him. You need to be nice and always say bye. Don’t just hang up. What did he say?
Sophie: I don’t know!
Phone rings again.
Sophie: Hello? (mumbles)
Call ends again but without the aid of Sophie. Dropped call??
Sophie: Heavy sighs. She . . . (mumbles)
Me: What happened? Was it Mrs. Casey? (Sophie nods) What did she say?
Frustrated, Sophie leaves the room. Phone rings again.
Me: Hello?
Cooper: Is Sophie there?
Me: Yes, hold on one second, Cooper. (muffling phone) SOPHIE, come here. I’s Cooper. BE NICE!
Sophie: (turns her back to me) Hey. I saw you on my mom’s facebook. (pause) Well, you wasn’t there. (insert more sarcasm) Cause you were at your Paw-paw! (pause) Well, I just tell you to tell them can you spend the night and you just didn’t want to come to my house. That’s what I thought you said. You want to talk to my mom?
Me: (struggling to maintain composure, shakes head) Tell him I’m feeding Gavin right now. (hides laughter behind Gavin’s blanket)
Sophie: My mom’s just feeding the baby. Remember him?
Me: (whispering) Tell him you’re going to a Superhero party this weekend.
Sophie: I’m going to a Superhero party. (pause) I miss you, too. (pause) I miss you, too. (pause) I miss you, too. (pause) I love you, too. Bye.
*End of phone call.
Some thoughts:
1. Was Sophie frustrated because she thought Cooper hung up the first time?
2. Is three the age that girls begin pretending they “don’t care” when they’re embarrassed or upset?
3. Will dropped calls be the end of their duo?
4. Did Cooper ask Sophie for some of her super powers back?
5. Will Sophie wear her Supergirl shirt to preschool again next week?
6. How will they feel about courting?
7. Now that phone booths are obsolete due to the increase of cell phone usage, where will Superheroes change their costumes?
8. Now that Sophie has become a Superhero, has experienced dropped cell phone calls and may soon learn that cell phones have caused the end of Superhero dressing rooms also known as phone booths—will she still want a Blackberry?
9. When do Superheroes stop sneaking in bed with their parents?
