When?

Some children ask, "Why?" constantly. Mine ask, "WHEN?"

"When can we go to (insert friend's name here)'s house?"
"When can we go to (insert relative's name here)'s house?"
"When are swimming lessons?"
"When are we going to get a big camper?"
"When am I going to get a DS?"
"When is Halloween?"
"When will the strawberries be ready?"
"When can we have corn on the cob?"
"When can we go to Chuck. E. Cheese's?"
"When will I go to school?"
"When are we going to have a babysitter again?"
"When does t-ball start?"
"When can we go camping and roast marshmallows?"
"When can we go to the beach?"
"When can we go to the Grand Canyon?"
"When can we get a drum set?"
"When am I going to be a baby again?"
"When will my name start with 'L' like Landen's name?"
You can probably guess which of these questions gets the answer, "Never."
Once in awhile, they do throw a "why" question in the mix. That is nearly always, "Mom, why don't you ever let us do what we want to do?"
