When I was six years old my father took me out for dinner . My mother and sister were away visiting my grandparents , so Daddy wanted to do something special with me . It had been an impromptu trip because my grandfather took ill . Paige was young enough that missing school was n't a big deal for her . I could have missed school as well , but I was doing a play at the time .

Question: What may be the reason the family was separated at the time ?
Answer: I was also ill and had to stay home so my dad stayed with me and mom visited .None of the above choices .My mother 's father was sick so half of the family visited and the other half stayed home .My sister and father visited my grandparents while my mom and I stayed home .
