"Those 'Y' things"--what kind of grass is that?

[raccoon]

In SC there is a weed (well, it's a grass, but you don't want it in your yard). You see it a lot by the side of the road, etc. It grows to about 18" high and has 2 heads and looks like the letter Y. The heads have a lot of black seeds on them. Sometimes there are 3.

Anybody know what's the name of this plant?

1. No, but I taught my daughter the mouth trick with those

You know, you tell someone they taste like candy if they hold the stalk between their teeth, and then you yank the stalk through their teeth so all the seeds come off in their mouth? :rofl: Yeah, I still hate my older brothers for that.

8. we used to do that too.

we would tell someone that we would show them how to weave a basket. so they would put it in their mouth with an end sticking out both sides and then we would *zip* that thing out. so funny when it happened to someone else.
