A
few
months
later
,
Dad
announced
he
was
leaving
the
band
.
Mom
told
him
not
to
do
it
for
her
sake
.
She
said
it
was
okay
to
keep
playing
as
long
as
he
didn
’
t
take
off
on
monthlong
tours
,
leaving
her
alone
with
two
kids
.
Dad
said
not
to
worry
,
he
wasn
’
t
quitting
for
her
.
Dad
’
s
other
bandmates
took
his
decision
in
stride
,
but
Henry
was
devastated
.
He
tried
to
talk
him
out
of
it
.
Promised
they
’
d
only
play
in
town
.
Wouldn
’
t
have
to
tour
.
Ever
be
gone
overnight
.
"
We
can
even
start
playing
shows
in
suits
.
We
’
ll
look
like
the
Rat
Pack
.
Do
Sinatra
covers
.
Come
on
,
man
,
"
Henry
reasoned
.
When
Dad
refused
to
reconsider
,
he
and
Henry
had
a
huge
blowout
.
Henry
was
furious
with
Dad
for
unilaterally
quitting
the
band
,
especially
since
Mom
had
said
he
could
still
play
shows
.
Dad
told
Henry
that
he
was
sorry
,
but
he
’
d
made
his
decision
.
By
this
time
,
he
’
d
already
filled
out
his
applications
for
grad
school
.
He
was
going
to
be
a
teacher
now
.
No
more
dicking
around
.
"
One
day
you
’
ll
understand
,
"
Dad
told
Henry
.
"
The
f
*
*
k
I
will
,
"
Henry
shot
back
.
Henry
didn
’
t
speak
to
Dad
for
a
few
months
after
that
.
Willow
would
drop
by
from
time
to
time
,
to
play
peace
-
maker
.
She
’
d
explain
to
Dad
that
Henry
was
just
sorting
some
stuff
out
.
"
Give
him
time
,
"
she
said
,
and
Dad
would
pretend
to
not
be
hurt
.
Then
she
and
Mom
would
drink
coffee
in
the
kitchen
and
exchange
knowing
smiles
that
seemed
to
say
:
Men
are
such
boys
.
Henry
eventually
resurfaced
,
but
he
didn
’
t
apologize
to
Dad
,
not
right
away
,
anyhow
.
Years
later
,
shortly
after
his
daughter
was
born
,
Henry
called
our
house
one
night
in
tears
.
"
I
get
it
now
,
"
he
told
Dad
.
Strangely
enough
,
in
some
ways
Gramps
seemed
as
upset
with
Dad
’
s
metamorphosis
as
Henry
had
been
.
You
would
have
thought
he
would
love
the
new
Dad
.
On
the
surface
,
he
and
Gran
seem
so
old
-
school
,
it
’
s
like
a
time
warp
.
They
don
’
t
use
computers
or
watch
cable
TV
,
and
they
never
curse
and
have
this
thing
about
them
that
makes
you
want
to
be
polite
.
Mom
,
who
swore
like
a
prison
guard
,
never
cursed
around
Gran
and
Gramps
.
It
was
like
no
one
wanted
to
disappoint
them
.
Gran
got
a
kick
out
of
Dad
’
s
stylistic
transformation
.
"
Had
I
known
that
all
that
stuff
was
going
to
come
back
in
style
,
I
would
’
ve
saved
Gramps
’
s
old
suits
,
"
Gran
said
one
Sunday
afternoon
when
we
’
d
stopped
by
for
lunch
and
Dad
pulled
off
a
trench
coat
to
reveal
a
pair
of
wool
gabardine
trousers
and
a
1950s
cardigan
.
"
It
hasn
’
t
come
back
into
style
.
Punk
has
come
into
style
,
so
I
think
this
is
your
son
’
s
way
of
rebelling
all
over
again
,
"
Mom
said
with
a
smirk
.
"
Whose
daddy
’
s
a
rebel
?
Is
your
daddy
a
rebel
?
"
Mom
baby
-
talked
as
Teddy
gurgled
in
delight
.
