Problem: I hope you all had a happy 4th of July . I had to work that night so we went to a picnic at my in - laws earlier in the day . Kody 's sister and her kids were there . We had a great day ! !

Why is the narrator in such an over - joyous mood ?

A: It is a holiday .

Problem: And I ' m not talking about age , either . He reminded me of every stereotypical war veteran hanging out at the VFW . Swapping war stories , bitching about those damn kids and generalizing how if he was in charge , things would be better ... with hardly any direct points as to how . Dude , you 're really showing your age .

What may be a fact about what this person is engaging in ?

A: They are complaining about a veteran .

Problem: It all compounds ... Jasmine is doing GREAT . They set up everything there to make sure kids succeed . I do n't have to be the one to tell her to do homework because she has an entire dorm full of people who are all doing homework at the exact same time . It 's awesome !

What may be the reason for Jasmine 's success ?

A:
They live with responsible roommates .
