The Atkins-Compliant 7-Year-Old

I've seen this twice in the past week now...while asking a kid what she'd like to drink, the parent prompts, "Sprite? Pepsi? Lemonade?" Both little girls, no more than 7, said, "Nah...I've had a lot of sugar today. I think I'll just stick with water."

Wow. I was the type of kid who ate sugar cubes.
