Original Note:
This is satire. People have claimed “sweet summer child” as a southern idiom for years, but there is no evidence that it was ever used to imply naivety before Martin’s Game of Thrones was published, and the term itself has only two isolated literary uses before 1996. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=sweet+summer+child&year_start=1800&year_end=2008&corpus=en&smoothing=3&case_insensitive=false
