More about Mr. Cooper
Mr. Cooper is a good friend to fathers (really any father who is lucky enough for Mr. Cooper to be the best friend of his son is truly lucky). Mr. Cooper and Mr. Parker are great friends and their relationship has evolved to the point were they address each other by name (Barber & Poopter), actually play with one another, and are openly giddy anytime you even mention their names to one another. This being the case, Cooper (Poopter) is probably the only reason why Parker (Barber) will live to see his 18th birthday. Cooper's (Poopter's) father, Blaine, has seen the future and it is real. One day (or probably on many occasions) Parker (Barber) will attempt to engage in some activity that will be dangerous or life threatening, and Cooper (Poopter) will talk sense into my son's hard headed head. Cooper (Poopter), you see is OCD (Overly Cautions Disorder), and every time Parker (Barber) tries to drink a whole gallon of milk in 20 minutes Cooper (Poopter) will be the one to explain that, "the milk will curdle in the stomach when exposed to acid, and the stomach will reject that quantity of spoiled, curdled milk if ingested in that short of period of time." If Parker (Barber) should ever decide to jump off a 30 foot bridge into a shallow creek, Cooper (Poopter) will be the one to say, "You do realize that you could break every bone in your legs if you hit the water wrong." Parker (Barber) will inevitably one day decide to jump of the roof of the house using a bed sheet as a parachute, and Cooper (Poopter) will be the one to say, " Ok, but when the sheet gets caught in the tree, and your neck gets caught in the sheet, and you get caught in the air with no way down, don't come crying to me." I love that boy (Poopter, that is).
