Why?

Last night after bath and reading a book I was headed out of the house to go to a concert with some buddies.  My wife was going to be with the children.  This isn't something that happens with any regularity in our house.  As I explained to our son and daughter that I would be coming back while they were sleeping it was clear that my son was fine with the situation, but my daughter kept asking me why I was leaving.  Why daddy?  Daddy's leaving, why? You're leaving daddy? Why?

Sorry is the dad who when asked a great question, doesn't have a great answer.

I knew that nothing I could tell her would make sense of me leaving the house.  To me it simply reflected that for her this was something out of the ordinary. 

I'll make sure to keep it that way.
