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 .

OPTIONS:
- Their being disrespectful .
- Their committing crimes .
- Their bullying other youths .
- Their growing up too fast .
Q: Why is the narrator upset at their son 's behavior ?

answer: Their growing up too fast .

question: There was not a sense of holding onto them - rather surprise that they 'd ever been mine and an ease of letting them go . If anything , I was more concerned that they were my children 's legacy and were now gone . But this was entirely about material things associated with my former life and marriage , and the caretaker even showed me a designer - decorated series of bathroom stalls - or how they used to be , as this was almost a Ghost of Christmas Past kind of viewing - that no longer have that designer look but that I ' ve remade into my own .

- Some of the items were very valuable .
- Some of the items were owned by the caretaker .
- Some of the items had great personal meaning .
Q: Why did the narrator not want to completely clear house ?

answer: Some of the items had great personal meaning .

question: I have also had the experience ( more than twice ) of being ranted to by well known poets in my gen with many books that they ca n't get published anywhere and feel entirely unappreciated . Then there is the further experience of being invited to a conference but not being able to come up with the dough to go . Then there are the claims those of us from the working class make about our childhoods without prep school . And there is the complaint that those of us who are not academics do n't get summers off .

OPTIONS:
