The marshmallow test

[Burning Bot]

You've GOT to watch this !!!

Remember when you were a kid and were told to wait before you could eat dessert? That excruciating delay caused fits of fidgeting as you fed the dog your dinner in hopes of hastening the glorious sweet treat at the end of the meal.

Waiting takes on a whole new meaning when researchers give children one marshmallow and two choices: eat one marshmallow now, or hold off till the researcher brings you another one — doubling your pleasure. Watch as kids' hilarious expressions of exasperation give way to bright, broad smiles when they finally receive what they've been waiting for!

I can indentify whiich each of my sons wuld have done !   MK 1 would have eaten straight off and beggar consequences !

Mk2 would have sat fustrated and waited , but had a lick

Mk3 would have nibbled and hoped no one noticed !!  Then said "I wanted it!"

All 3 would have kicked up blue murder and called adult "Twits , wot da ta expect?"  and argued corner !!!!!!  lols  (They WOULD ! I know my sons!)
