Yeah, i know! Its just, im always ranting about the marshmallow test, mainly about how i think its unfair to kids who dont KNOW where their next marshmallow is coming from, and this even-odd thing is a HUGE story from my childhood that "proves" how dumb i am - but i never realized until last night that it WAS a marshmallow test, and that i reacted THEN in accordance with my same insightful(!) awareness now. They only recently started to get the marshmallow test right, per MY standards.
