Syndi & Junior at Berry College

A friend of Sylvia’s asked a few weeks ago if she could use Syndi and Junior for a college experiment. This lady’s father is a professor at Berry College, and deals with child behavior. For one of his classes he brings in children from the community, talking and asking questions, seeing how the children respond. Last week Junior and Syndi went to Berry College to participate in this class. Junior went, but apparently wouldn’t talk. Syndi talked and did well, not fooled by the professor’s tricky talk. He had water in two short jars, then poured water from one shorter jar into a taller jar and tried to lead Syndi, implying there was more water in the taller jar. Syndi, however, was not fooled, and set him straight. He did something similar with some rolled balls of Playdoh, but again Syndi was not fooled. Sylvia’s friend took this photo while with our kids.
