If I Were the Stork: Marshmallows

by Anastasia on September 17, 2009

HOLY ADORABLENESS, these kids are cute. According to a New Yorker article that I read earlier this year, kids who had trouble resisting the marshmallow in an identical test to this one that took place decades ago grew up to be much more impulsive (and far less successful by society’s standards) than those who held their ground. Interesting, right? And I almost died when that little guy shoved both marshmallows in his mouth at the end there.

I think I would have lasted about as long as the last girl who had it in her mouth before the woman was out the door. How long did she leave the room for?

That was amazing.

Two things:
- I love how the blond boy looks like he is being seriously tortured.
- I also love the red headed girl. She shows no shame!

Anastasia, sending you off the study is proving to be to everyone’s benefit. You make me smile.
