Nuh-uh!

Yuh-huh!

We've got this. He'll definitely stay true.

[Logic]:
Well, looking at facts, we have been pretty bad about sticking to goals in the past.

[Morality]:
Can't lie about that.

[Anxiety]:
See? You know it's true.

[Princey]:
Ugh. I do not like you.

Well, this year it could be different, right? Right? ♪ I'll cut out carbs to lose some weight. ♪

That's a lie.

Ugh, it's gonna be stuck in my head all day.
