My father had me convinced that the traffic lights were controlled by him. He would say, " when I count to three the light will change". He would count one, two ,three, and sure enough it would change. Not knowing that all he was doing was watching when the light in the opposite direction was turning yellow. I was just amazed how he could do that.
