"Tickens"

JW's favorite part of Gramma Nay's house is feeding her "tickens" (chickens).  Not only does she have chickens, but she has a beautiful Artisan well with enormous goldfish, surrounded by mountains of rocks.  Throwing sticks and pine cones into the pond and climbing the rocks is all part his outdoor adventure.  The other day he was so excited to get outside that bolted out of the house without his coat on (it was freezing!).  JW thought it would be funny to play Chase Me while Grandma tried to get his coat on, but he ran off right into the blackberry patch and was swallowed up by the prickly thorns.  It wasn't so funny after that.  He may have learned his lesson about running away from Grandma, but it didn't stop him from enjoying her great outdoors.

This raises the question of why we need thorns at all?
