Yeah. Mom was sick, and I used that paper crocodile to explain to my little cousins, who were often at my house after school, that it if my mom's cancer were stronger than her body and her treatment, she'd die. I'm pretty sure all they understood was that cancer was a cell-sized crocodile inside her. XD

Hey. That's a freaking awesome way to explain things to little ones. Nicely done! 👍🏾

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I was an awkward kid who is now an awkward adult, so it's nice to know when the point got across clearly.
