Finding Gray

While attempting to be stealth (difficult for clumsy giant like myself) in preparing the 5 am bottle, an especially menacing spider literally dropped in on me. As I reached to open the microwave, it boldly descended toward my hand, challenging me to not scream. My immediate thought was "I fucking hate spiders". That is simply ridiculous. I don't hate spiders. I have an irrational and acute fear of them. They make me uncomfortable and anxious.

I do hate murderers,pedophiles, animal abusers....
I don't hate mayonnaise. I refuse to eat it.

Similarly, I do not love Baja Fresh. I enjoy it. A LOT!
I love my friends,family, and King Simon(ONLY conditionally, when it suits me, of course).

As a mother of children learning to speak, I hope to model more reasonable language indicative of that gray area I keep hearing so much about. How do I teach, what I myself am still learning?
