Alex came to the grocery store with me Monday night when he did not want to, so I decided to reward him. I presented him a choice between a 1.99 snow globe or a candy bar. Without hesitation he said he wanted the snow globe, and without prompting he stated his reasoning; he said, "If I would have gotten the candy bar, it would have been gone as soon as I ate it, but I can have the snow globe for a long time." You could say this is a "smart" or "sage" decision, but I think a more appropriate description would be "mature."
