Spot the Logical Fallacy

Emma recently asked me what Krabby Patties tasted like. 
--Do they exist? I asked her.
--No, she replied
--Then they taste like nothing. I continued, What does nothing taste like? Imagine yourself in a vaccuum chamber with no air in it.  Take a big bite.  That is what a Krabby Patty tastes like.
--Dad! Emma was getting frustrated. So I continued.
--Also, whenever I ask you what you are thinking about, and you say nothing, you must be thinking of Krabby Patties, right?
--What?
--Krabby Patties don't exist, and therefore are nothing.  So when you have nothing on your mind, you are thinking of Krabby Patties.
