I blinked the sleep out of my eyes and realized my head was in Khufu's lap. The baboon was foraging my scalp for munchies.Dude. I sat up groggily. Not cool.But he gave you a lovely hairdo, Sadie said.Agh-agh! Khufu agreed.
In a humorous scene from "The Red Pyramid," Rick Riordan's character wakes up to a surprise. Blinking the sleep away, he discovers that his head is resting on Khufu's lap, which is not the most comfortable position to wake up in. To make matters more bizarre, a baboon named Khufu is rummaging through his hair, looking for snacks. The unexpected and slightly unpleasant situation is typical of the quirky events that occur throughout the book.
As he shakes off his grogginess, his companion Sadie comments on the unconventional hairstyle the baboon gave him, adding a playful note to the moment. Khufu, the baboon, enthusiastically agrees, creating a light-hearted dynamic among the characters. This passage showcases Riordan's signature humor, blending the fantastical with everyday situations in a way that is both entertaining and engaging.
