You nailed it on the head big guy! Children find it very hard to comprehend the amount they don't know. It's called innocence and naievity. As a matter of fact, once you hit your 30s the stuff you realize starts getting downright scary! Particularly when you realize just how fragile some things are that you took for granted when younger. The fact that life isn't forever and tragedy happens every day. The fact that there are many in this world who would take everything you own and hold dear just to further themselves or be amused. A couple of recent examples are the WTC and the ENRON scandal.
