Oh, try running through a pineapple field (they grow on the ground. . .)-- those ‘leaves’ will skewer you!

You forgot to mention the huge spiders and the corn borers.

The barn and the grove behind the house were lots more fun.

Yeah, bleh. I preferred the barn as well.

Oh sure, a green cornfield is great fun to run through, until you come out of the cornfield and realize you have about a thousand tiny papertcuts on your legs arms and face from the corn leaves. Some are so nasty they bubble up a little blood… not only are they painful in that subtle papercut way, they are itchy, as well.  
[/QUOTE]

Yes. I forgot about those papercuts.
