All kids talk that way. We forget, so that when it comes to our kids or someone else's, we thinking "How precocious!" when it isn't.
Your example is still funny, though.

I a-fear you're right, Joe.
There are many signs the rigid "logical" mind gets a lot more rigid and in the way of imagination as we grow up.

Really? Why?
Because it's a form of philosophizing.

And my kid, when about that age, woke up one night crying, totally distraught. When asked what was wrong he said "I wish everything was red".
LOL.
Did it ever become clear to you what had upset him and what it had to do with red?
Yes. I believe it was the fact that most things are not red.
Seriously, red is his favourite colour. He tends to lock into a particular concept and gets quite immovable from it. I'm not sure whether to blame this on his OCD or his AS.

Sounds like he's preparing for a career in politics, or maybe as a cable news talking head.

Unfortunately that does seem to be true.
