    With my 2 year old I just played “guess which hand I’m hiding the toy” and I varied which hand I used randomly… she got it wrong 20 times in a row. Google tells me that’s a 0.002% chance of happening! After 10 incorrect guesses, I started to be interested how long it would last.

      What sort of feedback did you give after each guess?

      Did you give the kids the sense of "wrong guess = bad"?

        Maybe she’s a ‘which hand am I holding the toy in’ shark and is waiting for you to lay a Franklin on the next game.

        Only non-witches get due process.

          Yeah I kept yelling "wrong" each time.

            Your methods are idiosyncratic, but if you have any fault, it's that you care too much.

            Education is extremely important.
