Cooper thinks of nighttime, quite literally as dark time. He even refers to the daylight hours as “today” and the nighttime hours as “todark.” This leads to some kind of creepy comments at times.
One afternoon, while getting dressed to go out, Cooper was happily humming a tune while putting on his shoes in his room. At some point, he looked up & saw the sun was not as high in the sky.
He looked at me, totally stopped humming, and somberly stated under his breath, “The darkness is coming…” After that, he popped right back to happily humming his song and putting on his shoes.

How haunting and brilliant. It's uncanny, what the littlest ones, like Cooper, know. Thanks for listening and retelling...
