Funny! But the longest 3 minutes and 45 seconds of my life!!

I’ve read about this study — children this age who can put off the immediate pleasure of a single marshmallow for the longer-term pleasure of two marshmallows show better impulse control when they’re older.

I could totally do it with a marshmallow. But NO WAY if it was a chocolate chip cookie.

How funny! I loved the kids who went through the motions of eating the marshmallow but refrained from eating it.
I think at that age7(?) I would have waited so I’d have two.
