Sparkle declared she had ten yummy mangoes, and displayed a handful of berries.
I put on my best "Snow White" voice, and cooed at her, asking "Did you eat any of the berries, sweetie?"
Sparkle said yes. I cooed "How many did you eat?" and she repeated ten.
I barked at her a bit that the berries might be poisonous, and had her lead me to the berry bush in question. She did so, crying out "I didn't do anything!"
"Of course not, sweetie," I cooed again, and making cow eyes at her, she led me to the bush. I broke off the branch, and looked at the greenish-yellow clusters, and called poison control, who sent me to the garden center.
The poison control called back an hour later, and I updated them, and they looked up in their books about hawthorns, too.
