This is a conversation that went down in our home a few days ago:
Emma: Mom, can I have one of those orange drinks (referring to the orange cream sodas left over from our Spring Break trip)
Me: No Emma, we don't have any left.
Emma: Can we buy some at the store?
Me: Sure.
Emma: When?
Me: Sometime.
Emma: Okay.
At this point Emma walks in the bedroom and tells Abby in an excited tone of voice: "Guess what Abby, Mom says we can buy some orange drinks at the store sometime."
Abby lovingly puts her hand on Emma's shoulder, gives her a look of pity and shakes her head.
Abby: Emma, let me tell you something. When mom says "sometime", that means never.
Emma: Awwww.
Now this is not totally fair as I am sure that sometime I will buy them an orange cream soda, I just don't know when!

So cute. Kids really are smarted than you think, and they pick up on everything.
I seem to recall similar conversations at our house. Abby is on to you, I'm afraid.
That Abby is one smart cookie!
Too funny!
I love their honesty. Your family is so adorable. Those Easter picts were so cute.
I love it because I, too, am a "sometime" mom!
That is so cute and funny!
