Skeezie: Always? Steffi: No, not always. Sometimes. This is one of those times. Skeezie: Yeah, we had enough rain last night. Why’s it got to rain today? Steffi: It’s not the fact of the rain that makes me sad. Skeezie: Is it because it’s keeping the customers away and there go our tips? Steffi: No. I’m sorry we won’t be getting any tips, but I don’t mind having a slow day. It’s a mood thing. I get melancholy. Does that ever happen to you? You’re a guy and you’re only thirteen, so probably not. Skeezie: Who says? I get moods. Remember me telling you about sitting out in Penny’s doghouse? I do that when I’m down. Steffi: Mm. Skeezie: (singing) “I get so lonely, I get so lonely I could die.” Steffi: (laughing) That’s an Elvis song, right? Skeezie: “Heartbreak Hotel.” Steffi: Is that how you feel sometimes? So lonely you could die? Skeezie: Nah. I just like the song. Steffi: I feel that way sometimes. Skeezie: I thought you had a boyfriend. Steffi: I do. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get lonely.
