Cosmo answers the door, a wriggling toddler in his arms.
The man adjusts his glasses. "Good afternoon, sir."
"Hey, it's not Halloween yet."
"No, sir. Are you the head of household?"
"No, its rear end." Cosmo turns. "Hey, Kathy, there's a man looking for you. C'mon, kiddo." He goes outside.
She smiles a starlet smile. "Hello?"
"Hello, ma'am. I'm from the Census Bureau. How many people reside here?"
"My husband, my child, myself, and -- our lodger."
"Three adults?"
"Yes. Money is tight these days."
"How long have you lived here?"
"Three years."
"All of you?"
"Yes, except Donnie. He's two."
