The Wisdom of Youth

My six year old son's pet rat recently passed away, from unknown causes. All we know is that we discovered this as he was trying to 'fix' the rat by putting a band-aid on him, even though the poor beast was quite inert, with no evidence of physical trauma.

So, after some time, I asked him yesterday, "Leroy, how did the rat die? Do you know?"

He mulls this for a few seconds, then answers, "He died from not being alive."

Yep, that'll do it every time.
