Beans are really good at that too... their seeds have eyes.

We have been led to believe by 1 gardener that @Jack and the beans talk.

That reminds me of something interesting. Given that, traced far enough back, Jack and the Beanstalk is so old (the published version dates to 1734, but versions of the story go back to the Proto Indo-European times) Jack's beans would have to have been FAVA beans. the Common bean wasn't introduced to Europe until around 1500.

Favas would also make more sense structurally, as they more closely fit with an upright plant not requiring support (technically, a bush bean wouldn't need support either, but one would not call it a "stalk")

From the description, I always figured Jack's magic beans had to be kudzu.

My neighbor's kid ate a bunch of scrabble tiles. His wife is freaking out. I am not.

He will have a good vowel movement. I just do not think it will spell disaster.

A little turtle begins to climb a tree slowly. After long hours of effort, he reaches the top, jumps into the air waving his front legs, until he crashes heavily into the ground with a hard knock on his shell. After recovering his consciousness, he starts to climb the tree again, jumps again, and knocks the ground heavily again. The little turtle persists again and again, while a couple of birds sitting at the edge of a branch watch the turtle with pain. Suddenly the female bird says to the male, "Dear, I think it's time to tell our little turtle he is adopted."
