At five years old, I go to play at my best friend’s house. There are several other girls there I do not know. We go into her back yard. A new girl tells me to taste the leaf of a plant because it tastes so good and sweet. My friend agrees. I take a bite and my mouth is on fire with pins and needles. I spit it out but when I swallow the needles go into my stomach. Everyone is laughing at me. Because of the pain, my only thought is I am going to die. I don’t remember what happened next. I never told anyone about it.
