“Where did Steve go?”
was a question no parent was prepared to answer.
Was there some kind of scandal being hushed up?
Did he secretly have something going on with Magenta?
Did Slippery Soap have the dirt on him?
He then admits, “And then one day, I was like, ‘Oh hey, guess what?
Big news, I’m leaving.
Umm, yeah, Steverino, we do recall something of that sort.
Steve doesn’t actually offer an apology, but does say, “Can we just talk about that?
Because I realize that was kind of abrupt.”
(Yeah, a bit.)
Student loans, and jobs and families?
And some of it has been kind of hard, you know?
I know you know.”
Yeah, Steve, we do know.
But we also know you’re not telling the whole truth.
Well, you know what they say hair today, gone tomorrow.
Every bad thing that has ever happened to me was the direct result of your absence.
I’ll never forgive what you did."
(Hopefully, there were just joking!)
