The next night, Larry arrived on time to do his rounds. He secured the beasts of the safari and chatted for a bit with Attila about advanced weaponry. When it came time to bring "gum gum" to "dumb dumb", Larry heard no shouts from the statue. He approached and to his surprise, the Moai stood stoic and silent.
"Gum gum?" Larry asked the head.
"Dumb dumb want something new." Said the head.
Larry thought for a moment. Who was he to deny the Moai's wishes? And he wasn't the first of the exhibits to stray from his usual behavior. Just a few minutes ago he'd walked past Teddy and Sacagawea picnicking in the 1800s exhibit.
"I'll tell you what, you endure gum gum tonight, but tomorrow I'll come back with something new."
"That's my dumb dumb!" The head seemed fairly pleased.
All that was left was to decide what to make.
Larry was sure he'd be making something fresh, but he had so many options. He could pick something familiar to the Moai, something from Rapa Nui, but what were the chances he screwed up the recipe? Pretty high, right? Best to stick with something safe. Something he made for Nick. Wait! That's exactly who could help! Larry walked down the hall and poked his head into his sons room.
"Hey Nicky,"
"Yeah dad?"
"If you were —how do I put this— a ten foot tall stone head, what would you like to eat?"
Nick paused, clearly confused for a moment, but quickly understanding.
Nick raised his head, "Spaghetti's always a safe bet."
Larry was lucky to have such a smart kid. "Thanks Nicky."
