Today's MOSTLY TRUE SHORT STORY: Conversations with Stella

Frank and Stella

Stella: Frankie, what's the weather supposed be like the next few days?

Me: Well, Stella, they are calling for rain beginning tonight and to continue into Wednesday - could get heavy at times.

Stella: Gee, we've had such lousy weather. I guess we'll have to stand some more.

Me: That's true. It has been crappy. But, the last 2 days have been really nice. And, it's supposed to clear by Thursday afternoon - just in time for my birthday. You know the weather always gets nice for my birthday. All the flowers are booming, too. They also explode with color at this time every year for a very special reason.

Stella: And, why is that, Frankie?

Me: I've always figured that it was nature's way of welcoming me into the world - sort of celebrating! And, ya' know Stella, you have to have a pretty healthy ego to feel that way. And, mine has always been pretty strong.

Stella: Well, Frankie, that's true. You've ALWAYS had a healthy ego - right from the very beginning. Of that, there is no doubt. And, don't go changin' either. We wouldn't have you any other way.
