SUGAR

Munchkin has some strange eating habits. She's not exactly a vegetarian, as she avoids eating vegetables, but she doesn't prefer to eat meat usually either. Basically, she doesn't like anything but carbs and LOVES sugar. We've been cutting back on her sugar intake because of this, and her daddy is pretty strict about when/how much sugar she can have. Obviously, all of this is on her mind, because last night, when I was putting Munchkin to bed, she asked what sugar is made of. I told her sugar cane or beets. She asked what beets are. "A sweet red vegetable." "A vegetable? WEIRD!" Yeah, so then she asked if you had to beat them to get the sugar out. I told her I didn't know, but it was made in a factory. She then asked, "So, if the sugar is from beets, doesn't that count as eating a vegetable?" hahahaha ... I laughed. Then I said no.
