When I was about six years old, I used to go shopping with my grandfather. When we were standing in front of a traffic light, he could always tell me when it would turn green, but when I tried, I wasn't even close. I thought he had special powers. Now I know he just looked if the cars on the road had already stopped, because our light would turn green then.
