I'm not sure if the ice on the lake is thick enough, so I'm going to send my stepsister to skate out first to check it.
Hey! Don't you think that's a little dangerous? What will you do if she can't stand on the ice?!
That's her problem since I'm not her mother. I'm just her wicked step sister.
You are unsure if a icy lake is safe to walk on but you want to uncaringly send your step sister out to try it. That might make her slip through the ice and then what will you say when the finger is pointed at you? There will be a price to pay either way for you.
Hey I'm going to go home and not be involved in all this, then.
That's good, you shouldn't try sending your siblings out to test the ice and if it is too dangerous for you to try yourself then going home is the best option.
