jem's dream house

Sam and I have been talking about moving. We live in the city and we would like to move somewhere with a little more outside space for the boys. Oh, and by city I'm not talking like New York or Philadelphia. We just live in the tiny urban area of our county which has its good points and its bad ones.
We've gone to see a few homes and have found one that we are thinking of making an offer on. During this process, Sam has been asking the boys if they would like a new house. Truett was all for it and began to cry when he realized that Daddy didn't actually have a new house to take him to. Jem was interested as well but had a few questions.
Jem: Are we going to the new house today?
Me: No buddy. We don't have a new house yet. Did you know that this new house is built near the woods?
Jem: Why? (yep, there it is, the dreaded "why")
Me: I don't know. It just is.
Jem: Will it have a kitchen area?
Me: Yep and a special room just for your toys.
Jem: What kind of toys will it have?
Me: Buddy, houses don't come with toys.
Jem: Yes they do Mommy. I've been to houses and they have toys in them.Me: Honey, we have to take our own toys to the new house. It won't have any toys.
Jem: Oh.
