The day came when I was to teach a hands-on science lesson on prediction and cause-and-effect. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Picture this: egg cartons, rich potting soil, and a wild assortment of treasures including seeds, paper clips, shiny pennies, and even chocolate chips! Each student would plant a different object in each cup and guess what would sprout. Sounds fun, right?<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And then\u2026 enter Carl!<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As the class sat in a circle carefully scooping soil into each egg cup, I noticed the pile of pennies I\u2019d placed in the center of the table had mysteriously vanished into thin air! I asked the class if anyone had seen them, and a few students turned to Carl who was casually jingling <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">my entire lesson plan<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> in his pocket.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Okay.
