Also I think sometimes children will realize a logic gap there and so they will try this funny trickery where they will make statements like these, which technically are true, but imply something totally otherwise to others. Which I find very interesting and kind of speaks to ability and inventiveness of children to think outside the box. Parents may find it annoying or dismiss it, but I think it is great.
