Imagined childish reasoning: I could eat one marshmallow now, and hopefully finish this stupidboringweird test sooner and go home. Or I could be stuck here longer, for one crappy little marshmallow, showing that I know how to play a stupid suck-up little teacher's pet.
- trallnag 2y agoHow is this childish reasoning?
- bell-cot 2y agoNo interest in gaming the test, to make himself look better to grown-ups. Obviously short attention span. And no filter on his emotions. (Which is not to say that it's wrong. Unless you're at serious risk of starvation, a marshmallow is only a feeble token reward.)
