Oh man you're totally right, I didn't even think about that. Okay, so ask me something only the real Uncle Larry would know! Does that work?

Okay but what is it then? Nick never explains it to me! He just groans at me and acts like I'm supposed to know!!

hmmmmmm! okay, what is my...favorite ice cream flavor!!!!!!

all right i will school you since you need schooling and also we can always use converts! basically a step ladder is a specific kind of ladder! a ladder is a ladder but a step ladder is like two ladders put together you know? a ladder is just 1 thing that you lean up against a wall.

Oh that's super easy! It's strawberry! Man now an ice cream outing sounds really nice right about now. We should totally bug Nick into going somewhere once all the robots stop being weird. Did he get one BTW??

OH.

OH OKAY. That makes total sense now!! But why is it called a step ladder though? You step on both...

yeeeeeeeep. i am in my room in a pillow fort awaiting the end of all this nonsense!! also you pass hey uncle larry for real

i...

i am actually not sure? maybe we should ask google

Glad to know I passed! Also ohhhh crap. Robo Nick sounds like he'd be even more of a killjoy than regular Nick. He hasn't done anything bad has he??

And okay hold on.

[A minute or two later...]

So turns out the step ladder is called a step ladder and the regular ladder is called an extension ladder. I think the step ladder is called step ladder cause they work like actual stairs? Only you climb them IDK.

The More You Know.

no he hasn't done anything to me!! he's mostly focused on daddy at the moment or i would've booked it to uncle miles' place or something. but i figure since daddy is the one who opened his robot he can just deal with his robot!!!

okay so google AGREES that we are on the wright side of the step-ladder slash ladder debate!!! i did not know that about extension ladders but the more you know...

Hey that makes sense to me! But maybe you should check on him anyway. I heard those things are attacking people!! If Robo Nick is super after Nick maybe I should grab Edgey so we can help out you know? Unless there's a Robo Edgey too...

Robo Edgey sounds really scary, I don't wanna think about that.

But yeah, looks like it! Glad we could work it out! So why did you ask me anyway. Did someone out there super disagree with you?

...Was it Maya.

hm you could be right...i will send daddy a text and see if he answers! and then make him prove who he is. also i kinda doubt there's a robotic uncle miles around, would he REALLY open a mysterious package from cerealia...

maybe...maya MIGHT have asked a bunch of people where they stood on the topic, and she may have tried to sway iris to the dark side!

I guess that's true. But at the same time why did NICK open it? I thought he had way more common sense than that! Like...even I know not to open that kinda stuff.

[Apparently even Larry realizes his faults...sometimes...

Look he doesn't trust anything in this place anymore. IT HAS TOO BAD OF A TRACK RECORD.]

Oh dang! Did you set things straight then? I think Nick would have a heart attack if Iris started mixing them up.

uncle larry i love my daddy more than anyone else in the world, but he makes some TERRIBLE choices sometimes. this is one of those times.

[ SORRY PHOENIX BUT TRUCY IS JUDGING YOU...FROM HER ROOM... ]

and yeah! i also invited her to dinner so we could persuade her of the correct side of the debate one on one! don't worry i wouldn't let the love of daddy's life be wrong about step-ladders that would just be absurd!!!!

Trucy what are we gonna do with him.

[Apparently Larry is just judgmental everywhere right now.]

Good!! You gotta tell me how that turns out! The fate of their relationship rests on your shoulders!!

Man I wish that was an exaggeration but Nick and his step ladders...!

hopefully save him from a robot if he needs it!! although i am hoping he doesn't...

hey, daddy has a perfectly respectable opinion on step ladders! i don't know if i could date a guy who didn't know what a step ladder was, you know?

[ she kids...

MAYBE. ]

Oh yeah, I guess that's pretty much the only thing we can immediately do huh. Well just let me or Edgey know if it starts attacking him or something.

Edgey's got a sword, he can handle this. I've got...moral support??

Also seriously? Is that a thing a lot of girls think about? Maybe it's good that you showed me the light...

[Why is he talking to his niece about dating though.]

will do!! i wouldn't want daddy to get hurt or anything. he spends enough time in hospitals!!

moral support counts! but maybe we should get you a weapon, uncle larry...

i don't know if it's a thing a lot of girls think about, but the best ones sure do! ;)

Maybe you're right... Well I've kinda got some training with a spear and sword, but it was more for acting. I dunno how well it'd translate to fighting robots.

You know what? I'm definitely gonna ask the question on my next date! And if she doesn't know the answer either, then that'll tell me she's obviously not one of the best!

[Trucy what have you done.]

i don't think testing it out when they're out for blood is the best idea, so we can check after all the crazy is over!!

good choice!!! do you have any dates lined up soon, uncle larry?

[ SHE'S HELPED HIM no ]

Okay! So I'll just be moral support this time. But Edgey's got this! I'm sure of it!!

You know, nothing right now! But I'm thinking about looking again- it's summer, after all. Plenty of good date ideas for summer!
