Me, explaining why my girl shouldn’t “fill up on sugar” before lunch, especially since she’s sick, re: the candy corn she’s eating: “Those are made entirely of sugar.”
My girl: “They are? No they aren’t.”
Me: “Yes, they are.”
My girl: “I can’t see it.”
Me: “A lot of things have sugar in them that you can’t see. It’s cooked in.”
My girl: “Like pancakes?”
Me: “Yes, pancakes have sugar in them.”
My girl: “Eggs?”
Me: “No, eggs are made of eggs.”
My girl: “You can put your sugar in the eggs.”
Me: “Yes.”
My girl: “Wow, I’m learning a lot today. So far, I’m learning about sugar. Cereal?”
Me: “Mmm hmm.”
My girl: “Oatmeal?”
Me: “Mmm hmm.”
My girl: “Candy…”
Me: “All candy has sugar in it.”
My girl: “Not butterscotch.”
Me: “That has sugar in it.”
My girl: “What about peanuts?”
Me: “Some peanuts have sugar in them if it’s added.”
My girl: “Like these?” [Takes out a packet of honey-roasted peanuts and eats a few.]
Me: “Yes. Save those for after your lunch, too.”
My girl: "Yes, Alicia."
