If someone put a marshmallow down in front of you and said you could eat it OR wait and then get given two, what would you do? Replicating the classic Stanford experiment from the 1960s (also seen recently in the NY Times), some kids have better self control than others. Who knew marshmallows smelt so good?

Ahh the old delayed gratification marshmallow test. I would SO have failed it. (And I would still fail it). Being able to ‘delay gratification’ is apparently a good indicator of future success. I like the blond kid with the green t-shirt. He could be President one day.
