It really is amazing how they think.
Last night the boys were watching a History Channel show about Yellowstone and the possiblity it will again someday be an active volcano. When the narrator noted that experts want to know when, Brother said he shouldn't ask that question.
He went on to call it a bad question.
OK, so confusing at first. But when we got to the heart of it, in his mind asking 'when' is associated with the desire for something to happen. For example: when are we gonna be there, when can I have ice cream, when can I get out of bed (all among his own 'when' questions of the last 24 hours).
He just couldn't fathom asking why 'when' about something you don't want. So from his view, I agree, that is indeed a bad question.
