What Time is the Thing Going to Go?

This is a question that I was just asked. Mind you, there was no reference point to what or which thing and my 8 year old was very frustrated with me not understanding the question. Finally I found out the "thing" he was referring to was a BBQ that was being held tomorrow and really wanted to know what time it was. At this point we could communicate!! Which leads me to realize that I don't think we are speaking the same language :)
