Buckeyes

A couple of weekends ago, while we were on a hike, we collected some wild chestnuts to take home and roast. I looked online to find out how to cook them and discovered we had something more like horse chestnuts/buckeye nuts, which "have been known to cause nausea, diarrhea, loss of co-ordination, weakness, paralysis and at times even death." (www.vancourier.com/living/garden/two-kinds-of-local-chestnuts-edible-and-toxic-1.387486#sthash.3SLe25OS.dpuf) So, I start calling them "buckeyes" and explain to the kids why we're definitely not going to eat them. A few minutes later, Leif hears Elijah (4 yrs old) saying "Those butt guys are dangerous."
