All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

We won our first A team bout last night. By over 50 points. That felt good. But I feel like I got hit by a truck this morning.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hrrmph. I'm making my way through all the vanilla bean ice creams, and...how did I ever think the Haagen Dazs Five was good? It's so incredibly sweet there's no way I'm finishing the whole thing.

Hil - any chance they were relatives living with them for a year or so. maybe for school, maybe until families immigrated? My dad had a cousin live with him for a year or so when he was growing up. I feel like there have been episodes of Who Do You Think You Are where they have found family members not in the home of their parents.

That's what I would have thought if they'd been older or these were earlier censuses, but the kids are all preschool age, and it's with parts of the family that had been in the US for decades already. (One of the daughters of one of these families is still alive, and she suggested that if her parents or her aunt and uncle could have somehow gotten extra money by claiming some more kids, they would have had no qualms about inventing a few, but I don't think that the census would count for anything like that.)
