"CAT" ASTROPHE

This comes from England:

My group of primary students had just come in on a Monday morning. One little boy, approached me. "Poor Sam is dead" he said, eyes filling. "Who is Sam?" I inquired. "Sam is my cat and I know he is dead because I pissed in his ear" was the very solemn reply. I asked him to repeat himself and he said it again "I know he is dead because I pissed in his ear." He looked up at me as I struggled for words "but Dear" I said "Why in the world would you do such a thing?" He sighed and said "If you want to check if someone is dead you lean over like this and whisper "psssst" in their ear. If they don't move, they are dead.
