Less scary?

"Really, Tiny Shellie May?" asked Tiny Duffy. "You think this is less scary than the water? Look at that spooky black and white bow!"

"Bows are not scary," said Tiny Shellie May. "I wear one almost all the time."

"What about the skulls?" asked Tiny Duffy.

"I have one of those too," said Tiny Shellie May. "And besides, I did not see any bear skulls."

Tiny Duffy did not look comforted.
