"What's ALL the 'co''s about?"

As described ad nauseum (literally until we are sick of it) co, in this case does not mean equal. From the Latin "cum" it means with.

This thread is the equivalent of:

“Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

No matter how many times you tell them the mileage, they don’t have any conception of either time or distance, and the childish powers of intellect can’t comprehend anything other than “I want what I want when I want.”

You must be an awesome father to keep reasoning with the unreasonable.
