re: Is this a Mandela effect? Did Game of Thrones coin the phrase "you sweet summer child?"

So, you’ve been proven wrong, but you’re going to dig a little deeper anyway. That’s certainly one way to go about things.

Originally coined? Probably not.
Popularized it? Certainly, especially when the books got adapted to the screen.
It became a term used to poke at people who weren’t book readers who got blindsided by the plot.

My Grandmother used to say it all the time. I always assumed it was one of those southern sayings like "bless your heart".

People have poor/false memories. Outside of GRRM's universe, the term makes no sense as children regularly experiences all of the seasons.
In A Song of Ice and Fire, however, seasons are understood differently where undefined extended periods of warmth (summer) follow undefined extended periods of cold (winter) and a child that is naive to the nature of winter is referred to using this term.

I remember it from GoT, nothing else.
Even if it were from an earlier book and had been recycled by Martin, the presentation in GoT was so memorable. A beautiful stroll though gardens with two beautiful young women, one savvy and one innocent. The phrase was instantly memorable.
Way ahead of "the North remembers" "Hodor" and the music from the Red Wedding.
(Since there are no words for the smirk for the dog attack)

As a senior citizen I can confirm this to be true..
GOT (movie/books or otherwise) did not invent this phrase...

Well it was way before that. It was in season 1 episode 3.
The reason so many people remember hearing it is because HBO ran a ton of teasers with Old Nan saying it over a year before the show aired. It was part of the “fear” trailers they had.
Weirdly, I can’t find any of the teasers they ran for season 1 only the official trailer. I guess since the series hadn’t aired no one was saving just regular HBO teasers.
But here is the clip with Old Nan:
