Go by the Target store in Burke. You can test all the little brats that run up and down the aisles screaming and knocking things over why mommy yuppie looks on with a smile.

It is a formal test, not an observation. If interested, please email or call me at motten@gmu.edu or (240) 277-6961 .
I prefer not to offer money because I am a poor graduate student living completely off of loans. However, I will give your kid a little prize for participating. Knowing that you helped further a grad studen't education should be enough for a parent to do it.
