Cute Kids - The Marshmallow Test

The Fastest Game of Hide and Seek Ever!
This is usually how hide and seek goes in my house, as my kid likes to hide in the same place (in the bed) everytime. Actually, it’s not really Hide and Seek at all but me pretending to seek, then pretending to get tired and taking a nap on the bed (aka my daughter) while the bed giggles and I continually tell the bed to hush up.

The “amazing” video after the jump.
