Can You Teach a Fish to Climb a Tree?

‘Everybody is a genius.

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,

it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.’

-- Albert Einstein (or not, as it turns out!)

Can a baby bake a cake?

And if they can’t, what wonderful things can they do?
