Unrecognized opportunity...

David and Jacob learned about a spider that can eat a chicken.  The subsequent conversation:
Me:  If a spider that could eat a chicken was trying to eat me, would you wrestle it?
Jacob:  No.
Me:  (Confused - too smart to touch it maybe?)  Would you shoot it with a gun?
Jacob:  No.
Me:  (Deeply concerned - maybe he's upset with me about something?)  Would you just let it eat me?
Jacob:  (My mom is so dumb sometimes.)  No.  I would let it bite you so you could turn into Spidergirl.
