This was the common question shouted from the wayback in the station wagon when on a trip. The reply was always vague in an attempt to keep all children in the car calm and unaware of the actual circumstance. Dad are we almost there? Dad replies: "yes few more miles, about an hour." Mom, I have to go the bathroom, she replies: " hang on, the next stop is close."
When will the war end? Reply: "in two to three weeks." America is in the wayback!!
