I heard Miguel and Julia talking about me.

They said I was annoying. And they don’t want to be my friend anymore.
I’m really sorry.

You know, they’re just missing out! I always have fun with you.

Seriously! You even make chores fun somehow. You have the best jokes! And the best ideas. And you’re nice to everyone.

OK, OK. You don’t have to say all that.
Hey, I’m just telling the truth.

Thanks, Paolo. You always know what to say. I feel a lot better.
