Conversation With a 7-Year-Old: Venom Edition

A: You know, poisonous animals use their poison for different things.

Me: Really?

A: Yep. They can use poison to paralyze their prey, or to kill.

Me: Interesting.

A: A scorpion has lots of poison. Like, there's one kind of scorpion that can paralyze people, if it stings you.

Grandmother: Really?

A: Yes. It can sting up to 50 people. I mean, up to 50 people per day.

Grandmother: So, if it wants to sting 51 people, what happens?

A: It can't. Up to 50. In one day.
