Sugar

We had dinner with the Brown's and afterwards my kids wanted a piece of candy from the big candy bowl. There was, however, cheese cake planned for dessert. They were given the choice of waiting for cheese cake or having candy. We knew the kids would be disappointed with their candy decision once they saw us eating our cake in a few minutes. So we began trying to help them make a better choice. "Cheese cake is yummier." "You'll get more cheese cake than that little piece of candy." They still weren't buying it so Dominic spoke up, "Cheesecake has more SUGAR in it."

(it was so funny to see how a little boy's mind works: as if sugar content is the best way to rate food). They ended up going with the cheesecake after they saw it.
