When we were driving up to Kennecott Copper Mine we drove by the Oquir Mountain Temple and the conversation in the car went like this.
Mom: "Look Justin, there's the temple."
Justin: "What's its name?"
Mom: "That's the Oquir Mountain Temple."
Justin: "Oh, Oquir Mountain Temple. Can I go in the temple?"
Mom: "Well, little kids can only see the outside of the temple. When you are 12 you can get a recommend from the Bishop and go inside to do Baptisms for the Dead."
Justin: "Oh. Why do you go to the temple, Mom?"
Mom: "Yeah, Dad, why do we go to the temple?"
Dad: "Because Heavenly Father and Jesus want us to go to the temple."
Justin: "Why do we have to listen to them?"
Mom and Dad both bust up laughing and try to hide it.
Dad: "Because Heavenly Father and Jesus know what we need to do to be happy."
Justin: "Fine." with a huff and clearly not satisfied with the answer.
