So I always try and find a balance between allowing my kid to do potentially harmful things or not shy her away from slightly dangerous things so as not to mystify them and get her to develop a bit of common sense, or whatever. I dunno. Not got a clue what I'm doing.
Part of this is letting her take berries and seeds and flowers and things, so she can put them in her pocket and .. well, just let them rot before I find them before putting them in the washing machine, but whatever, collecting them and playing with them makes her happy. "Mani si - boca, no! (hands yes - mouth no!).
I've been careful to teach her not to share the berries with other kids in the playground, if only to not incur other parents' wrath.
Curious about a plant right next to the kitchen door here, I Googled for 'plants with black berries' and now as far as I can fucking tell, it turns out the plant I was for some reason a wee bit wary about letting her play with the berries anyway might be fucking Deadly Nightshade.
Now currently trying to go through various plant ID sites to check, but so far it's not looking like anything else...
