Before I look it up in the golden chain I have a divisive question that is way more interesting than anything hair-related. How come only the Father knows what time Jesus is coming back?

Before I look it up in the golden chain I have a divisive question that is way more interesting than anything hair-related. How come only the Father knows what time Jesus is coming back? Doesn't Jesus have it penciled in on his memorandum book like this: "GANDALF TEA WEDNESDAY"? Do not the Son and the Holy Spirit cosign on everything? Will he indeed come like a thief in the night OR will he come like a throng showing up on one's doorstep asking for tea, cold chicken, pickles, seed-cake, knowing as much about the contents of one's pantry as one does oneself? Okay but my first question was serious (in return I will answer the question "why did God make mosquitoes".)
"Behold I stand at the door and knock... if anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will enter his hobbit-hole and have tea with him, and he with me, and we will go on an Adventure"
Good morning! We don't want any adventures here, thank you!
Allegedly (meaning, I am currently alleging this) St. Thomas Aquinas explains this by saying that by saying [only the Father knows, not the Son] was that the Son wasn't given the knowledge in order to reveal it. I suppose if you think of Jesus as the Word of God, with no speaking on this particular subject, this might make sense?
I already know why God made mosquitoes, and I also know the answer to this one.
It's meant to be a surprise party.
Yes, it's the kind where you sort of suspect something's going on because there's a lot of giggling and people acting arch. But still ultimately a surprise party.

Well, now I'm going to have "Blunt the Knives" stuck in my head the rest of the day.

So, why did God make mosquitoes? To ensure Alaska would have a state bird?
Because He loves us.
I object to this answer, and would like to withdraw my own and substitute in "Because God is ipsum esse essens". ;)
