First person: “We gotta decide which way it’s going to be. When we go, we all need to go together at the same time for it to be right.”
Second person: “Well see it’s wrong either way you decide to do it because you’re not supposed to go at all.”

Tipper: You just never know what is really going on when folks are trying to trick you into a worried state. It doesn’t take much to generate a state of anxiety!
Don’t worry!

Reminds me of when we older ones use to try to get one of the younger ones to ask Mom or Dad for something we knew they’d tell us older ones “no” about. LOL
God bless.

Oh my goodness! It’s the beginning of a true story that happened nearly 50 years ago and I’m the first person. The second person was actually a group of teenage girls but instead of offering sage advice, they said “OK.” The rest of the story is too embarrassing to relate. Oh what mischief a bunch of silly girls with a hair-brained scheme can create!
Humm! Seems like something sneaky going on. Maybe someone is being a bit nosy. Happy day to all readers!
Imagine the stories you could write from these two snippets. Reminds me of sitting in a public place inventing scenarios for the folks I see. The lines you overheard could be from relatives of an ex-wife at her former husbands wedding to a second wife. The words might have come from a group on one side of a feud attending memorial services for a person on the other side of the feud. Endless possibilities. I love them.
Sounds to me like somebody forgot to take their medicine.
Reminds me of kids/teenagers conspiring. The followup “overheard” would be (said with rolling eyes, pouty lips, flailing arms, and maybe a stomp of a foot) “. . . everyone else is going/doing it!”
I agree with Miss Cindy
Sounds like profound wisdom to me!
