Painful Memories

When I was a kid, we called it a cactus even though it's not a succulent. At least, I don't think it is. When the Big Kids didn't want us little kids tagging along, they'd knock us down so we'd sit smack in the middle of the plant with it's large, feed me teeth. 

While doing yardwork at the old homestead, Himself and I found the plant. This one must be a wee beastie as I remember the plant as being a trashcan lid-sized monster. Himself and I gave the plant a wide berth.
