Your Grandmother’s Census
I went to a session at SLA 2009 entitled something like “2010: Not Your Grandmother’s Census.” Well, it was not as interesting as I had hoped it would be. I also pondered what MY grandmother might ask on a census…
- Are you hungry? You look hungry.
- Are you tired? You look good. But you look tired. Are you hungry?
- Did you eat already? I made you something. Are you hungry?
- Did you drink an ice cold drink too fast? You shouldn’t do that. Are you hungry?
- In 1920 we lived at 225 Roebling Street. Are you hungry?
- That boy/girl is fine for now, but later, you want to marry that doctor, don’t you?
- Aunt Rose used to eat fried eggs right out of the frying pan. Are you hungry?
