Please don't worry about your ideas being silly.
Ideas can always be made to sound silly. What's important is how you write them up.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to speak at a writing festival where several best-selling writers were also speaking. We were all talking after our events and two of them--who had both had major number-one world-wide best-seller books out that year--talked with me about plotting. I said how ludicrous my plots sounded when I tried to talk about them, and they both howled with laughter, and said that yes, they felt the same, and they were amazed anyone ever took their books seriously.
Plots are ludicrous. Ideas are silly. Writing is ridiculous. But we do it, and somehow it works.
