Conversation With a 7-Year-Old: Miracles of Modern Science Edition

A: So, when I'm a DNA genius scientist, I'm going to work on inventing plants that can make you better.

Me: Did you know that a lot of medicines do come from plants?

A: Really?

Me: Yep.

A: Okay. Well, I was thinking of inventing a plant that could cure heart attacks, and tastes like chicken.

Me: If you successfully do that, you'll make a lot of people happy.

A: Yeah, I bet people would pay $20 for that.

Me: I bet they'd pay a lot more than $20 for a heart attack cure that tastes like chicken.

A: Like, $1,000?

Me: No question.
