I never had snacks as a kid.

My mom wouldn't let us have soda, candy, or junk food.

And I still got cavities.

But anywhoo, this post at Logged Hours is funny:

'At the end of the session, we asked kids what sort of things they would like to win in a contest. One little boy said that if he had his choice, he would win a trip to Paradise.

When the group moderator asked where Paradise was, he responded "Downtown!"

This was the same little boy who was excited that he got to keep a rubber band he found on the floor.

All I have to say is this kid is either easily amused, or he leads a sparse, sad existence. I really hope it's the former.'
