Carnivorous Plants & Scorpion

Pitcher plant
On the way back from school. Shawn kept saying something that sounded like picture plan. He kept saying picture plan picture plan, that insect fall inside and plant eat up. We somehwat figured out it's Pitcher plant. We showed him the picture and wala it is PITCHER PLANT that he was talking about.
Some description in his words : inside is very slippery, insect fall inside, like a cup, hairy

Venus fly trap
As we were in the lift, he started to talk about Venus fly trap. This is dictated very clearly and yes, I know what he is talking about.
Some description in his words : Like 2 leaves come together (clasping his palms together), eat bugs & insects, starts with V, need to touch 2 hair to close

Came home and googled. Watched the process of the carnivorous plants eating up FROGS, MOUSE and I was eeek-ed out! Shawn watched too and didn't budge a bit, he kept asking YT to replay the clips. I could still accept insects being eaten up by these plants but these tiny ANIMALS?!




Scorpion
Watched youtube of scorpion in the toilet and came to me and said scorpion want to pee in the toilet, giggling away>
