In the morning.....

Child: Miss Amie's coming!!!
Me: No, YOU are going swimming at Miss Amie's house.
Child: Are we going swimming with Miss Amie tomorrow?

About 5 minutes later.....

Child: Miss Amie's NEW house?
Me: Yes.
Child: Mama, can we go swimming at Miss Amie's NEW house?
Me: Yes. (whew, I thought he finally got it)

Some time later.....this time a good 10-15 minutes.
Child: Mama, are we going swimming on Saturday?
Me: Saturday is tomorrow, so no.
Child: Are we going swimming tomorrow?
Me: No, but we can go swimming on Sunday.
Child: Are we going swimming on Sunday?
Me: If you're a good boy.
Child: Are we going swimming on Saturday?
Me: No, we are not, Saturday is cleaning day.
Child: Are we going swimming on Sunday?
Me: Yes, after church if you are a good boy tomorrow.
Finally child gets distracted by a non-swimming object and stops asking...for a few minutes.

Can you sense a trend? A little boy who loves the water and has learned that there are words for periods of time, but doesn't understand exactly how long each time period is, and a mama who is going absolutely crazy!!!!
