Ideas for resolving an argument

Two friends of mine are having an interpersonal difficulty. While Dale and the kids and I were all sitting around eating blueberries, I asked Jordan if he had any ideas for how to help them with their argument.

Jordan: Maybe you could help them find an agreement. They could plan something together.
Aaron (mishearing): Plant a tree. Plant a blueberry tree.
Jordan: Maybe they could talk about the same things and try to share. Mix up the plans and try to share. Use both their plans all mixed up together and not in order.
Rachel: So that the planning came out even, with part of the plan from each person?
Jordan: They could get ready to go on a fun trip together so that they could become friends again.
Aaron: They should be NICE.
Jordan: They should have some fun together.
Aaron: We are having an argument. Me and Bodhi (a classmate). Bodhi said, "Poop on you."

Bodhi is way out of line on this one.
