Oh, the things you can learn during a visit from your census worker
Posted by Sarah Braudaway-Clark at 10:01 AM
Mom, today I learned that if you hear a knock on your door 2 seconds after your daughter walks through it to leave for school, you should NOT assume it's her and open it without your shirt on.
Because it's probably a census worker.
I also learned that if your basement used to be a separate apartment, the US Government will make you complete two census forms so they can delete one. Efficient, no?
I learned that when someone asks my husband's race, I can't resist: "White...and nerdy."
I learned that the government is still telling this lie.
And finally, I learned that if the census worker visits while your five year old is at home, you will hear conversations like the following:
Michael: "Hey! I gotta tell you something!"
Census worker: "Yeah?"
Michael (pointing at me): "She farts in her bed."
Census worker (laughing): "Oh, I think everyone does. I'll bet you do it, too."
Michael: "No, I PEE in my bed!"
Me: "Thanks, Michael."

ROFL!! Looks like you got the only census worker with a sense of humor. :)
Absolutely hilarious!
Okay, I got my laugh for the morning!
are we the only ones this sort of thing happens too? or are other people just not talking about it?
Knowing Richard, I probably would have wanted to answer "white and nerdy" too *grin*. (Heck it would'a been great to answer that for ME, but I didn't think of it)
