It seems like Steven Moffat does this a lot, where someone will realize something and the phrase it as a question. It's like "If you're here, and I'm here, who's watching the kid?" I remember a specific instance in "Forest of the Dead," where someone says something about there being five people to save, and then someone says "if there are five people to save, why are there six people in here?" And then everyone turns around to see the disguised monster. My sister and I have been calling it "if x then why," so I might be having trouble locating it under another name, if it exists.
