It's saying it's getting the wrong message because you're giving it a wrong message. Rather, you're giving it the right message at the wrong time. If you'll notice, there's no message in the 2nd to last path of your conditional chain, and you've modified the message in the else block. None of that is necessary. To solve this challenge, you only need to modify the condition of the first if statement
