Interviews with the Old

After interviewing my grandmother, I decided to go out and hit the streets. My first place to try was the park, it being such a beautfiul day and all. I went on an old people hunt to fufill the interviews I needed. Note: Certain approaches work better than others. What follows will be the succesful ones.

Old Couple In CP
Me: Hello there, great day, isn't it?

Old woman: Oh yes it is. So surprising for february.
Old Man: What's that you're holding?

Me: Oh, this is my writing journal.

Old Woman: Are you a writer?

Me: Of sorts, I guess. Would you mind If I asked you both a few questions?

Old Woman: What sort of questions are you asking?

Me: Well, for my Meaning of Life course, I was asked to interview people to determine their views on what a good and meaningful life is.

Old Man: Sounds like a bunch of baloney. (He really actually said that.)

Me: Be that as it may
