As Gnes talked about the harrowing experience of living through the war, her older daughter mimicked her and made faces to the camera.

Cooper tried very hard to keep a straight face and maintain a serious tone, but he couldn’t hide the crack of a smile at the girl’s adorable antics.

And they feel how stressed we are, adults, and they hear what we are talking about, so yes, they are pretty stressed. But they are coping with this invasion pretty well.” Her daughter and son at that point were both making faces, causing Gnes and Cooper to share a laugh. “They’re scary tigers,” Cooper remarked, as the kids growled for the camera.
