question: I mumbled some form of " I ' m sick , but getting better " with a hopeful look on my face . She nodded , looking entirely un - convinced of the getting better part . She brought my soup and hot tea fast enough that I was sure the motive was more than good service . She wanted me to leave before my germs infected her .

answer: The narrator is ill .

question: First let me set my frame of mind up for you all . I have recently been having trouble with my 15 year old son . Nothing too extreme just the typical I am a teen now pulling away from the mom stuff . Breaks my heart that the kids are growing up so fast and I have been trying without success to hang on to his youth .
Q: Why is the narrator upset at their son 's behavior ?

answer: Their growing up too fast .

question: Matt and I are going to get a new kitten at the end of the month ! Well ... it 's more - so for him because he 's always wanted one . I ' m sure Wolf will be happy to have another kitten to play with . Hopefully my landlord will let it happen though , pretty sure he did n't even want me to have Wolf and we NEED written consent when we go to adopt one .
Q: What may be the reason for needing written consent from the landlord ?

answer:
So the adoption agency knows for sure that the landlord is allowing the animal to be there .
