As a retired math teacher, I tutor now and get a lot of work. There's a family I work for who immigrated here, legally or illegally, I don't know. They homeschool their daughter and I stop by twice a week to help get her through high school math. They never shared with me what they do for income. Today, I came over at a scheduled time and both parents wearing the medical boots we have frequently seen of noted politicians and celebrities. When I inquired, they told odd stories of how they fractured their ankles in two separate incidents. I found the stories hard to believe. Hanging around this site and VOAT before that, I know that these boots have been used to hid ankle monitors.
Do you think I have a reason to be suspicious?

Well let's see. 179/100,00 = .001799
Now chances of it happening twice in the same family? .00179 * .00179 = .0003% = a snowball's chance in hell this is random.
...exactly....
Wouldn’t some baggy pants be a little easier?
LOL, I see what you did there

In other words, it's rare. For a couple old enough to have a teenage daughter, I suspect the rate would be higher, but not that much higher.
