Zoe: Holy shit Ella! I just had a near death experience! Like, I seriously almost just died!
Me (thinking the worst, like maybe a car accident): Oh my God! What happened?
Zoe: There was a spider (deep shuddery breath) ON MY FACE!
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Is that it?
Zoe: IS THAT IT? Ella, I almost DIED!
Me: Oh yeah? Of what exactly?
Zoe: Of a spider on my face, weren't you listening?
Me (laughing): Ok then. Hey, why are you even scared of spiders anyway?
Zoe: What do you mean? They're terrifying?
Me: What's terrifying about them though?
Zoe: EVERYTHING!
Me: But Zoe, they don't hurt you or anything. They're not poisonous.
Zoe: But they're disgusting! DIS-GUS-TING!!!
Me: Ok yeah I can see how some people might think they're gross but they're not scary.
Zoe: But disgusting IS scary!
Me: No its' not. It's just disgusting.
Zoe: Scary
Me: No. I mean disgusting isn't harmful or anything though
Zoe: Yes it is
Me: Ok, I get it that they're gross an icky. But other than that what exactly are you scared the spider is going to DO?
Zoe (completely exasperated): SIGH...BE DISGUSTING!!!
At this point I just break into laughter
Me: Seriously? That's it?
Zoe: Terrifying, Ella. Terrifying.
Classic Zoe.
