Can you resist the temptation of a marshmallow?

Tell a 4-year old kid not to eat the marshmallow for 15 min. Then shut the door and leave the room.
one-third of the kids eat the marshmallow right away.
another third eat it w/in the next 14 min.
less than one-third can resist.

These kids, after they grow up, are those who "succeed" academically and in jobs coz they can self-control, delay of instant gratification....

Friends, try it on your kids and let me know the result!!!

birthday "cake"

mom: oh it's your birthday tomorrow!
me: yes, how are you going to treat me?
mom: oh... do you need to cut a cake?
me: yes
mom: ok, you'll have banana loaf as breakfast! =D

* "loaf" still means "cake" in chinese...
