In our household my older daughter (almost 5) is allowed one treat after dinner on most nights... IF she has earned it! :) Well, the other night she was having a hard time deciding between a dum dum and a fruit snack. She was trying to convince me that she should be allowed two treats. But I stuck to my guns and said, "No, you have to decide on one." Eventually, after MUCH himing and haughing, she decided on the dum dum. So, that was the end of it... UMMM no that was not the end...
About an hour later she came to me, looking very serious, with both hands on her hips. And this is what my darling little girl had to say, "Mommy! How can a fruit snack be a treat? I mean it's a FRUIT (long dramatic pause) SNACK! It's made with fruit! AND it's not a treat, it's called a SNACK Mommy!"
What can a Mommy say to that?!?! I was uber impressed with my future lawyer! And this super strong, never backs down Mommy had to make a tiny little exception... that night she got two treats(however I did make her share it with her little sister, so it was more like one and a half.) She is such a smart little joy. I love, love, love that girl. <3
SIDE NOTE: I still think they're treats not snacks!

You can't argue with logic like that! What a smart one you've got!
