I’m Something You Might Eat But I Also Kill
I’m something you might eat, but I also kill.
I can cause blindness and burns.
Because of me, people lose limbs.
I’ve even been known to crash cars.
And yet I’m considered beautiful
Small children play with me and parents don’t mind.
Some people even live inside of me.
What am I?
Snow. Every kid has taken a bite of snow, but thousands of people die every year in snowstorms. Watch out for photokeratitis, otherwise known as snow blindness. And if you’re exposed to snow for too long, you can lose limbs to frostbite. Just an inch or two of snow makes them treacherous.
A recent snowfall makes the world white, and kids love to build snowmen, snow forts and have snowball fights. Some people live in igloos, built out of snow.
Five Letters and People Eat Me
I have five letters and people eat me. When you remove my first letter I become a crime. Remove my first two letters and I am an animal. If you remove my first and last letters I’m a form of music.
What am I?
Grape
Grape = a fruit people eat
rape = a crime
ape = an animal
rap = a category of music
I Generate Fear But Am Quiet As A Mouse
I can generate fear and some say I come out of your ears. I’m quiet as a mouse but not welcomed in the house.
Smoke.
I Go In Hard
I go in hard.
I come out soft.
You blow me hard.
What am I?
Note: This may not be appropriate for younger ages.
Gum. What? You had another guess?
A Wonderful Help To Women
I am a wonderful help to women,
The hope of something to come.
I harm no citizen except my slayer.
Rooted I stand on a high bed. I am shaggy below.
Sometimes the beautiful peasant’s daughter, an eager-armed,
Proud woman grabs my body,
Rushes my red skin, holds me hard,
Claims my head. The curly-haired
Woman who catches me fast will feel
Our meeting. Her eye will be wet.
What am I?
An onion. Onions help add flavor to meals, they make the person who cuts them cry and they grow hair downtown.
Eternally Joining In A Single Bite
With pointed fangs it sits in wait,
With piercing force it doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might,
Eternally joining in a single bite
What is it?
A stapler.
