I've been embroiled in a mystery ever since she showed up at my door.The little old white-haired lady said she was a census worker and needed 30 minutes of my time. I told her it was bad timing to come back another day. She asked for my phone # so she could call ahead. After three tries,saying the # LOUDER&LOUDER,I gave up. Eventually Granny Census came back and left a note. She asked that I call her,BUT not while she was in class! Granny Census was 80 if a day. Wonder if she's in a sorority too?! My Facebook friends reminded me the census was over & the results released. They said it was a scam. Maybe she was a PI trying to get info. Maybe she was an escaped Bryce Hospital mental patient. Yes, I became paranoid. I am quite vulnerable to the power of suggestion. Long story short,she came back with an ax and tried to kill me! Just seeing if you were paying attention. I never got census info in the mail. Okay I never returned census info I got in the mail. I called the US Census Bureau and Granny Census was the real deal. Turns out she was supplementing her Social Security by doing "census follow-up". She was assigned my case file since I had not responded. I have a case file!? I have now filled out the forms and Granny Census is free to go to class.
Actually, I think the ax murderer story would have been a better ending.
If she is a sorority girl, the "Walk of Shame" is a lot more embarrassing because it takes her a lot longer to shuffle to the door
ReplyDeleteUh oh. You didn't respond to the census? That's on your permanent record now
