I was digging through some stuff to take to yard sale time

I found this worksheet I'd done for 9th or 10th grade English, "Family Interviews"

I interviewed my parents, my maternal grandparents, and my friend

anyway, it paints an interesting picture for these five people at that state of their life. My grandparents have since passed away, my parents have made the transition into being retirees, and my friend is due to give birth any time now.

My mother wrote hers in backwards slanting print, a trait she picked up in school when a teacher told her she had the ugliest writing of any girl

My father wrote his in engineering all-caps

My grandmother wrote hers in neat cursive

My grandfather wrote the first six of his in a heavy simple cursive, and the rest in heavy all caps, with wide spacing

My friend didn't write hers personally because it was the night before and I was using MSN messenger to interview her, so I just wrote it like I would imagine she would.


I wonder why I was so blind.
