Superstitions.

Mom: Let me tell you about a strange incident......funny how people's minds work at times!!
Me: Ya....tell me....what happened?
Mom: There was this time when your aunt (distant aunt), had a dream......she dreamed that she was praying in front of a ganapati idol.
Me: Ok, then?
Mom: She got up in the morning and ur aunt and uncle decided to go to Wai (Wai is a place which is near satara district of maharashtra. There is a big idol of ganapati there.). They both left on ur uncle's motorbike and went to Wai.
Me: What? Just because she had a dream?
Mom: Yes. Dont know what made them do it.....but they just got up the next day and were off to Wai, your uncle even took a day off at the office.
Me: Hahahaha!!! That's funny.
Mom: If thats funny.......you hear this out.....your sides'll probably split once i complete the story...
Me: What more?
Mom: Well they went to the temple at Wai.....took 'darshan'. On seeing the idol ur aunt realised that it wasnt the one that appeared in her dreams.
Me: Huh? So? She had gone there to confirm that it was the same idol?
Mom: I dont know......but all the same i feel that what they did was either very superstitious or completely idiotic.
Me: Hahahahahahaha!!!! Imagine if the idol she saw in her dreams was of the mandir they have near to their house!!! Such a waste of time, energy and petrol!!! hahahahaha!!!

What do you call this? Height of idiocy or height of superstition?
I dreamt yesterday that I went to meet this uncle and aunt of mine , but i didnt go there today........for the fear that i might burst out laughing in front of them.
