My kid's science fair project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of a hypothesis. The teacher said, 'Write a hypothesis, test it, and record your results.' My kid wrote: 'Hypothesis: if I put a graham cracker in the milk, it will get soft.' He put the graham cracker in the milk. He waited four minutes. He took it out. It was soft. He wrote: 'Result: the cracker is soft. The cracker was not soft before. The cracker is soft now. The milk did this. I did not do this. The milk is the agent of softness. I am the agent of observation. We have different jobs.'
