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?
Fair enough. Maybe the daughter knows... make up a practice story problem for her and see if she cracks.
"Two people, a man and a woman, enter a store. They rob it. They take $50 but later they spend $10.30 for gas and they pay with the stolen cash. But they get caught and have to wear ankle monitors until their trial. How much money did they have left when they got arrested, and do they get to take their boot off at home when no one else is there?"
She is a teen, but funny math problem.
