Earth Coincidence Control Office

Earth Coincidence Control Office is a funny name for something people talk about sometimes. It's like a pretend office in outer space that makes sure everything on Earth is happening at the right time and in the right way.

Imagine you have three friends who all want to meet you at the park to play. But if they all show up at the same time, nobody can play because they would be waiting in a long line to swing or slide. This is what happens if people and things on Earth don't happen at the right time and place.

So, the Earth Coincidence Control Office or ECCO makes sure everything runs smoothly. They might help make sure airplanes don't run into each other or that the Sun and Moon take turns coming out in the sky. They don't really exist, but it's kind of silly and fun to imagine them.
