For example: during the census, we got the long form, which we did NOT want to fill out. I decided that I would answer the questions that were on the short form, so I called my mother and asked her what they were. After a long pause, she said, "I only put down how many people lived here!" So, see, I get it honestly. For an 81 year old, she's pretty "with it."
FYI, I NEVER GOT a census form. I was a grad student living on campus, BTW.
