IN: However , utopia83 brought up the valid issue of : what about Jake ? To which I flippantly replied , " Obviously they broke up " and then added in a less light tone " possibly he died tragically " . Which sort of would make sense .
What is the reason that the relationship died ?

OUT: Jake was killed .

IN: I took a nap on the couch with Forrest , who was tuckered out from playing with the kids nonstop . Apparently that 's what we need to calm the kitten down - a 6 year old and a 2 year old ! And since we had put Soft Claws on both of the cats a few weeks ago , I did n't have to worry about either of the kids ( or us ! ) getting scratched while they were playing .
What may be the reason for putting Soft Claws on the kittens ?

OUT: They wanted to protect their children .

IN: People who regularly say " Merry Christmas " think nothing of it , and assume that everyone understands it as a polite gesture . But how awkward and estranging it is for a Jew , Muslim , Atheist , or anyone else not practicing the holiday under the same terms as a Christian . Especially when it comes in such high frequency . I must admit however , that as soon as I left , my mild outrage transformed into radical jealousy .
What political ideology does the narrator seem to have ?

OUT:
They are progressive .
