I had the same experience as scout when she was dared by Dill and Jem to meet Boo Radley. For me, it was when my brother dared me to go bungee jumping. It was when I was around 2nd grade, and it was a vacation to Australia (I think). I obviously wimped out cause I wasn't really confident in myself that I'll be able to survive jumping off a cliff and bouncing around upside down. But of course, that was when I was in 2nd grade, if he dared me again right now, I would accept the dare without any hesitation.

Nut Grass- This specific type of plant was originally native to parts of Africa, and south Europe, and some parts of Asia, then it made its way to the US. This is one of the worlds most evasive weeds, covering over 90 countries and ruining thousands of crops a day. It emmits a natural chemical that can hurt plants and even has a series of underground roots called "tubers" that can grow to may feet across. Ploughing or pulling the weeds can cause the plants to grow faster by distributing the seeds, but using a special poison can kill them easily.
