Naughty Jack, but he's earned a few perks. An odd fact. You can hear rhubarb growing. I was taken to experience this years ago, in a big shed

He is a bit naughty at times, but rhubarb can be very tempting eve if grapes are easier to conceal. At least he was stealing healthy food rather than chocolate and sweets.

How strange! We used to have a rhubarb patch in the garden, but I never thought to listen to it.

Thank you!

This was so weird about hearing rhubarb that I had to go google it and sure enough,

That would be most disconcerting!

I'm waiting for someone to bring out a Rhubarb song CD. You can get whale song, so why not?

Thank you I'll check out that link!

An amusing exchange. Ianto certainly has the upper hand and Jack is gracious in defeat

There really wasn't much Jack could do after getting caught!

Thank you!
