I dunno... it's fuckin' annoying, if you ask me, and I hope I never bug my children with that question. I also hate the grown-up equivalent, "Whaddaya gonna do when you graduate?" (I got it with my high school diploma, BA, MA, and now my PhD.) "Why do you care?!" People like to make polite conversation, that's about the only reason I can think of.
