Resolutions

New year, new start.

'What's your new year's resolution Tom?'

'I'm going to do lots of revision, work really hard at school and be a better boy'

'OK, good plan, but you are already an excellent boy'

'I know'

'George, what's your new year's resolution?'

'What's the point, I'll have forgotten by tomorrow'

'You don't think you should endeavour to study harder at college and not spend your free afternoons playing Skyrim?'

'Not really'

'Katie, what about you?'

'Errmmm, wash my lunchbox up?'

'I should think so. How long has that been in your school bag?'

'Errmm two weeks'

'You could also add; putting my clothes away, not leaving my homework until the last minute and cleaning my teeth'

Charlie, what's your new year's resolution?'

' Should I have one?'

'Yes'

'What should it be?'

'Well I don't know'

'Well, what's yours?'

'Oh the usual; lose a shed load of weight, drink less wine, gin, vodka, beer etc, do exercise stuff, win an olympic medal and maybe write a cookbook'

'Right, d'you want some of my chocolate orange and a glass of wine?'

'Of course'.
