Resolutions and Resolve

Did you make any resolutions?

Here's a story about a little boy and his dad.

Little boy says "Dad, there were three frogs sitting on a branch in a pond. One decides to jump off. How many are left?"

The father thinks for a moment and says "Two".

The little boy frowns.

"No, you're not listening," he says, "there are three frogs on a branch in a pond, one decides to jump off ... how many are left?"

The father thinks for a moment and smiles, "Oh, I get it. If one jumps off they all fall off ... so zero are left".

The little boy shakes his head, "No," he says "there are three left ... the one only decided, he didn't actually do it".

To what have you resolved?
