I LOVE the marshmallow test! I often use it as reference for grown ups who have a small "emotional quotient" actually. Immediate gratification...the downfall of empires, dammit.
I think it would be better if they never came in to give the kid his second marshmallow. Then, the test would be to see how long they are willing to delay their gratification before they figure out they're being punked.
