Too bad, in any case

A conversation with a girl who was young a long time ago now:
She, an avowed animal lover, had just watched some show featuring seals, and their cute and endearing antics.
 "I'd love to have one for a pet," she said.  "But it's too bad they have 4 legs."
I attempted to correct her.  "You mean it's too bad they DON'T have 4 legs."
 "Well, no," she responded, looking a little confused, " I don't want to say that,  because they don't have 4 legs. But I wish they did."
