an orphan?

A good and very sad guess, but that works mostly for just the first one, not it.

If I spoke prose you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about.

That riddle was going around school when I was about 10. The answer’s “a coffin”.

When I eat – I survive; but a sip of water – I die. What am I?

Fire?

If I got it right, I’ll toss to someone else, I can’t think of a good riddle.

I’d argue that a sip of water wouldn’t put out fire but anyhoo.

Here’s one:

You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

@IveJustSeenAFaceo Yes! So in my opinion Anna’s also correct, I hate eggs.

What’s the new riddle Faceo?

Oh, you must be talking about boiled eggs. I just had an omelette, so I couldn’t figure out how that worked.
