Kids sat the darnedest things

A friend of mine was off to another town and I looked after her little boy, Peter whose 4 yrs. old. We were strolling along the park and he was discussing about this old man his mom and him are visiting. He told me that he feels sorry for this old man cause he really liked him and would listen to Peter talk about a lot of stuff. I asked ....Honey, why do you feels sorry for the old man? Is he's sick? ( Thinking that the old man had probably something contagious ) And out right, the boy replied, NO. He's dead. That's why I feel sorry for him. ( I could have probably corrected him in saying it's sadness that you feel ) I tried to control my laugh not that I don't feel sorry for the old man but because of the way Peter replied to my question and he was so serious when he said that. Had anybody ever experienced funny situations like these?
