I remember in Los Angeles, I think I was about eight, plus or minus a year, or you know, for a period of a few years.  In the fall, grass would, you know, wild grass, yea high, would really get dry and slippery.  We lived near a hillside at Echo Park. And so, you know, we would get on top of a cardboard or carpet you know, slide down the hill. And honeysuckles grew there too, and I found out that you could pick these things and bite at the tip of the honeysuckles, suck on it, and it’s sweet.

[Also, you could put them on your fingers.]

Never tried that.
