Non Sequitur

A conversation with a six-year-old on a schoolbus, emphasis original:

He: "At our block party last night, there was a police officer, and he showed us his gadgets!"
I: "Which one was your favorite?"
He: "He had a magic stick, that when you waved it it grew!"
I: "Oh, really?"
He: "And he had a gun that shoots electricity!"
I: "Wow. You wouldn't want to do anything wrong with that by you, would you?"
He: "I want to live in a castle."
