Why?

Emma is often up late with homework, often up later than the rest of us. So it was surprising when I recently found her in her room while we were all still upright. I then made the unusual move of lying down on her bed, in the spot where the dog Charlie usually sleeps for the night.

Charlie was really excited by my simple move, she started jumping on and off the bed, running around in circles. Who knew I could rock her world so? Emma and I laughed, assuming Charlie was thinking, "Why is this happening? What does it mean?"

While it was funny to see her so excited, I can relate to being confused, sometimes, often.

Why is this happening?

What does it mean?

I often don't have any better answers than Charlie.
