Not too long ago my youngest asked, with a twinkle in her eye, “How about a Sprite for breakfast?”

Silly child, silly ask, silly to think I should let that bit of humor pass without a chuckle,

“Not a chance…”, I reply after a moment, “Soda’s not for breakfast”, I clarify,

And no drama to follow, just a shift to more traditional, healthy fare.

Sprite for breakfast. Ha!
