That kid is seriously cute, but it worries me that his parents/adults around him are apparently expecting him to have the patience and reward delaying abilities of an adult (he's constantly mentioning his lack of "executive functioning" and failing the marshmallow test -- if he was able to write this piece he's not below the average 9 year old executive function level, same if he can actually watch Rachel Maddow for the whole time she's on, so I think the parents should let up of that).
