Of course jelly bean trees are a great idea -- that's why I thought of it when I was my niece's age, and that's why I was able to tell her that it wouldn't work.

Sure, I could have let her find that out for herself, but she was old enough to start learning how to value wisdom. Smart people know how to learn from the mistakes they make; wise people know how to learn from the mistakes that EVERYONE makes.
