Cooper's Urban Dictionary III

Example: Ow! Lillian just hit me in the forebrains!

Cooper critiques OSX
Don't know how many of you can appreciate this, but...
Yesterday I was installing a .pkg file on my Mac. As soon as the icon came up on the screen, Cooper commented, "OH! I know what that is! A box of jello."
Somewhere an icon designer for Steve Jobs is doing the face palm.

Planning Lillian’s Birthday for next month
Robin: “…Another option is we could do a pirate theme. Maybe have a scavenger hunt for treasure hidden around the house or yard.”
Cooper: ”And the chimpanzee could swing from the light hanging above the kitchen table!”
(insert another 5 minutes of party planning conversation here)
Robin: “...or we could look at a pool party. There’s this place in Charlotte…”
James: “But the kids really aren’t strong swimmers yet. If we’re talking about water slides…”
Cooper: “Lillian! What you should do is put a shooter on the window, the floor, and the ceiling, so you could shoot darts at people from all three directions!”
(insert another 5 minutes of party planning conversation here)
Robin: “...so in that scenario, Lillian, you’d probably need to pick just one or two friends from school to invite.”
Cooper (longingly to no one in particular): I sure would like a flying suit…”

Mr. Bock
Tonight, while eating lasagna, Cooper piped up with, "you know, I love Mr. Bock." Not knowing anyone by that name, Robin & I stopped talking and turned to Cooper, at which time Cooper burst out laughing, "Hahahahaha, you know Mr. Bock isn't real!!! Hahahahaha!"
We still have no idea what / who he's talking about.

Recognizing Road Signs . . .
Cooper was disappointed he couldn’t read road signs as well as Lillian.
James: “...but you can read some signs right?”
Cooper: “I know the McDonald’s sign.”
James: “Yeah, there you go. I bet if you think about it you know more signs than that.”
Cooper: “I know the Chick Fil’A sign.” (see a theme her?)
James: “You know when Mommy and I pick you up from school and walk to my office? Do you ever notice that sign?”
Cooper: “Yeah! It has pepperoni on it!”
This is the logo of my company (wax seal with a wheel in the center):

While eating lunch outside...
To Robin:
"Mommy, can the wind blow the sun away?"
later that afternoon:
"If you say, crabby, crabby, crab, the crabs will come."
