My t and I kinda use as a baseline, how would I do on the marshmallow test right now? The marshmallow test is a test they give kids to test if they can delay gratification, see how mature they are. I think that's not the right use of the test - it really shows if the kids parents lie to the kid or not, is my belief. The tester leaves the kid alone in the room with a marshmallow and tells the kid he can have 2 marshmallows if he waits - doesn't eat the 1 marshmallow -til the tester returns.

Rain, your reaction to the phone call was like you saw the tester burning the bag of marshmallows! I told my t, darn rite I'm eating that first marshmallow I'm given - a bird in the hand, you know! Otherwise someone's gonna tell me I must not even really want any marshmallows at all, if I could wait that long. Honestly what kind of white people design these tests??
