   On my site, I'm trying to customize the sidebar to be specific to a parent and its children by listing related parent/children pages as well as listing relevant category posts.

   So, within a new UL, I have the following code:
   

   <ul class="events">
   				<?php if (is_page()) {
   						//we're looking at a static page again. Which pages?
   						if (is_page(array(5, 1752, 1768, 1749, 1764, 1775, 1754, 89, 1758)) && $post->post_parent)
   						// Children's pages and subpages
   						query_posts('cat=20&posts_per_page=10');
   						elseif (is_page(array(6, 630, 1878, 1882, 779, 1880, 1884)) && $post->post_parent)
   						// Adult pages and subpages
   						query_posts('cat=62&posts_per_page=10');
   						else query_posts('cat=12&posts_per_page=10');
   						}
   						while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   				<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   				<?php endwhile; ?>
   			</ul>

   If I am on page id=5 and any of its children, and likewise id=6 or any of its children, I want a list of only category 20 or 62 title links respectfully to appear on each page.

   The end resulting lists would be different from 5 to 6 and then default list on the rest of the WP pages.

   I'm confused why this worked but when I added the parent page as a child to another page, everything kicked in correctly. I'm confused why it wouldn't show these elements when this page is a top level parent page. That's ultimately what I need to happen here.

   Here's the whole page worth of code. I really hope someone can educate me!

   <?php
   if($post->post_parent) {
   	$parent = get_post($post->post_parent);
   	if ($parent->post_parent) {
   		$children = wp_list_pages("depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=".$parent->ID."&echo=0");
   	} else {
   		$children = wp_list_pages("depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
   	}
   }
   if ($children) { ?>
     <h3>Related Programs</h3>
     <ul class="moreInfo">
     <?php echo $children; ?>
     <?php if (is_page()) {
   			//we're looking at a static page. Which one?
   			if (is_page(5) && $post->post_parent) {
   				// Children's page and subpages
   				?><li class="page_item"><a href="http://www.terraceumc.org/category/children">Children's Upcoming Events</a></li><?php
   			} elseif (is_page(6) && $post->post_parent) {
   				// Adult page and subpages
   				?><li class="page_item"><a href="http://www.terraceumc.org/category/adults">Adult Ministries Upcoming Events</a></li><?php
   			}
   		} ?>
     </ul>
   <?php } ?>
   <!-- End Related Pages -->	
   
   <h3>What's News&mdash;</h3>
   <ul class="events">
   	<?php if (is_page()) {
   			//we're looking at a static page again. Which pages?
   			if (is_page(array(5, 1752, 1768, 1749, 1764, 1775, 1754, 89, 1758)) && $post->post_parent)
   			// Children's page and subpages
   			query_posts('cat=20&posts_per_page=10');
   			elseif (is_page(array(6, 630, 1878, 1882, 779, 1880, 1884)) || $post->post_parent)
   			// Adult page and subpages
   			query_posts('cat=62&posts_per_page=10');
   			else query_posts('cat=12&posts_per_page=10');
   			}
   			while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   	<li class="all"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/category/events/">View All Upcoming Events</a></li>
   </ul>
