The Honeysuckle Bush

When I was in 1st Grade, there was a honeysuckle bush by the playground. My teachers helper told me that I could pull the bottom off and get a drop of honey from it. So all during the spring, I was down there, picking honeysuckles, and drinking the drop of "honey" that came from the bottom of it. I loved it, it was fun. Unfortunately, when 2nd grade came along, my teachers helper that year told me I couldn't go eat the honeysuckle plants anymore T_T. So honeysuckles were a big part of my childhood.
