EJ brought up at lunch one day about how there is some test where the psych folk with drop 3 M&Ms infront of a kid and tell them that they are going to leave the room for a bit.\u00a0 They also say that when they return, if the kid hasn’t eaten the 3 M&Ms the kid will get 3 more.\u00a0 They don’t tell the duration of time that they will be gone for.<\/p>\n
At some age, kids learn about weighing instant gratification with patience and delayed gratification and greed?<\/p>\n
So I was supposed to put Sal through this test.<\/p>\n
Finally did it.<\/p>\n
Sal sat like a happy camper, all quiet and perfect and charming in his chair with 3 Skittles in front of him for about 5 minutes while I just looked stuff up on the computer in a different room.<\/p>\n
I went back with 3 more Skittles and he was happy to see me and happy to get his additional 3 Skittles.<\/p>\n
He then started to eat them.\u00a0 I asked for the purple one and he even shared with me.<\/p>\n
It would have been perfect, if I didn’t over hear him tell his mother, as I was leaving the room “I didn’t really want the purple one anyway.”<\/p>\n
I wonder what he did to it (it was one of the 3 that was with him alone for a while…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
