When I was a kid I loved monstera plants

I always wanted to have one. And I don't mind the holes - I find them cool.
I don't really see myself not being scared of dandelions. I just cannot imagine my life where I would just go ahead and pick up a big one. Dandelions are not toxic and even edible and I find it hard to understand how my brain links it to danger.
I am 28 and I often laugh about it with my colleagues. I thought of "raising" a dandelion at home in a pot but I am afraid that when it gets big I will have to ask somebody to take it away.
