When your options are too similar
Better Question: What’s the worst that could happen?
“Damn.”
I took shelter when the sky opened up. I was in Epcot as part of a multiday trip to Disney World, where afternoon rain exists as a persistent possibility.
The squad (my family) was currently on a mission to secure nourishment. I had rejoined them after a side quest to upgrade my coveted Jedi badge. (The person guarding the area where you could make your own lightsaber was less than helpful, but I digress…)
Huddled under three feet of a roof overhang, my family debated what to do. Should we wait and hope the rain stops so we can continue on to the Food & Wine Festival? Or should we call it quits and head back to the resort so we can dry off and eat lunch?
Some consulted their weather apps, noting conflicting predictions. Others tried to find something, anything, to support their case, including pointing to the food cart a few feet from us and saying, “There’s a food stand right across from us — it must be a sign.”
We could have easily waffled until we were thoroughly soggy.
