I did not ditto him

He cried. I dittoed.
Stumbled and bumbled. Dittoed.
Studied and worked. Dittoed.

  2. This was a good illustration of not just blindly following others, but following your faith. Regrettable ending, but ingenious.

  5. I agree with everyone above: cool use of ditto, all hell breaks loose from such a small variance, regrettable end. Not because he/she followed her faith but because of the end result of doing so.

    1. Yeah not because he/she followed his/her faith. But we all run short on patience. Anything different must be denounced hence regrettable end. Thank you for stopping by.

  7. We can't always ditto everything, sometimes we have to follow our spirits no matter where it leads.
