sometimes i think about that kid in the experiment
who was sat down and told to wait some time
before eating the sweetness put in front of him
that his patience would bring a reward
and i think about how they laughed when he didn’t succeed in waiting and instead
crammed the entire gummy bear into his mouth the second they left
looking so guilty afterward
the way they gloated and collected data and prognosticated about his future job prospects and potential success-
certainly not as good as those who waited, they said
it was something about self-control
i know all too well that when he got home
there were probably no sweets
or if there were, they were there for a moment only
before being snatched away by either cruel hands or circumstance
no guarantee that promises meant anything, much less that they were kept.
if it had been me in that chair
i’d have eaten it too.

whew boy, this needs some self reflection from the person who posted it and anyone who upvoted.
my family would dye the eggs as a big event, and then store them in the fridge and eat them. i never knew people would just throw them away.
we are also german, though- we do the whole popping a hole in the shell and blowing the inside out in order to make the decorative ones that one leaves at room temperature.
how irrational to dye them and then let them spoil.
you realise you can eat the dyed eggs, right?
