This is soooooooo worth watching, even if you hate kids. It is a 3:45 minute video of what happens when you leave a kid alone with a marshmallow.
I’m not able to embed the video, but if there’s anything you do today – watch this!
PS. Did you know if you squish a marshmallow between your fingers for long enough it turns into taffy?

This modeled after the somewhat famous and fascinating psychology experiments performed by Walter Mischel in the 60s and 70s.

I loved this, certainly made me smile. I am going to show it to my son who is 10. He recently got to help a bunch of kindergartners in gym class when they were learning how to ride little scooters around the gym and got such a kick out of that. He’s like “mom, they were so cute and their eyes look so BIG when they get scared or excited”. Of course, it was not that long ago that he was a kindie too.
Thanks for sharing this.
