I still can’t believe we actually got our first communication from Planet Earth!
Supersecret Agent Cook from BITE gave us some cool answers about the noodles. She said they’re totally worth the voyage across the cosmos.
Still, it’s funny how answers can just make you want to ask more questions. Like this one: If the noodles are food, and food is like gloop, then does that mean we just poolg them?
On Planet DooF, poolg means that you reconvert the gloop back into energy by inhaling it through the lower facial opening that humans call the “mouth.” So that must be what eating is.
Poolging is NOT interesting, though. I mean, it takes about a nanosecond. There is NO WAY any DooFian would go on a transgalactic expedition just so they could learn about poolging — or boring old gloop. That would be totally nuts!
So there must be more to this food and eating stuff than that. I wish we could try eating the noodles, but I’m not sure my dad will okay that. If we do it wrong, we’ll have totally destroyed the thing that started our whole mission. But if we do it right, it will give us a great start on understanding all about food.
I would ask Lt. Trippe what he thinks about all this, but he’s giving me so much attitude lately that I don’t want to risk it. He’d just start laughing his head off about there being something that the pipsqueak brainiac doesn’t know. Then he’d go mess up my new asteroid-avoider program on the navigation system and tell me it never worked to begin with.
Forget it: I’m not asking Lt. Trippe. I’ll find a way to figure out this food stuff – after all kids are the highest life forms ever, right?
So the question is: how can I convince my dad that eating noodles will be WAY better than poolging them?
