"Dead Horses"

On the way home today we drove by a pasture where 3 horses were laying down. Damon yelled from the back seat, "Mom! Those horses are dead!"
"No Damon. They are just taking a nap. They get tried and lay down just like you do. They aren't dead."
"Oh. If they were dead I would go give them a kiss."
"Well that is very nice of you, but they are just taking a nap."
"But if they were dead I would give them a kiss."
"Okay."
