Me
Hello conscience, is that you?

‍

Conscience
Yes, nice to meet again.
God knows it has been long.

‍

Me
How do you mean long?
Anyway, can I ask you something?

‍

Conscience
Fire away.

Me
Remember that time I ate Leo's birthday cake in the fridge
And then blamed Leo for it the next morning?

‍

Conscience
Yep. Not your brightest moment.
One of your weakest in fact.

‍

Me
I know I know.
I'm not proud of it.
The memory of it haunts me to this day.

‍

Conscience
Surprising.
I guess that makes me a little bit proud.

Me (smiling)
I guess I'm not that bad after all huh.

‍

Conscience
Well I wouldn't stretch it young lady.
But yeah you have your good moments too.

‍

Me
Thanks.
I like hearing that.

‍

Conscience
I know you do.

Me
You know,
If you ever would like to talk to me.
You can.

‍

Conscience
I don't think it works that way.
But thanks.

‍

Me
Well I'll check back with you again soon.

‍

Conscience
Please do.
