entomologist, zoologist and , sobbing: "please, stop, you can't keep calling every creature a friend!"
me, pointing at tardigrades, moths, bees, snakes, skunks, spiders, and all manner of other critters weird and wonderful: "friend"
also me: *inarticulate screaming and sobbing and fleeing at the sight of a wasp*
wasps: "...yo what the FUCK"
me distantly: "F-...F-FF-FFRIEND!!"
wasps: "....alright but we got our eyes on you, bucko"
