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?
If I may ask, what is the stories they told you? If not, understand. I fractured my ankle in high-school so bad they wanted to break it to reset it. Mom said no! No boot, no cast, just crutches. Years later ankle surgery and a cast, the damage was worse than the mri and CT showed once they got in for the surgery. Talk about a rude awakening!
The dad said he slipped on ice while cleaning off his driveway. We’ve had an abnormally warm winter in NE Ohio this winter and no one has had to deal with ice since late January. The mom said she landed wrong in an aerobics class. Trust me, this lady doesn’t do aerobics. Their stories set off my BS detector, but I didn’t call them on it. I politely gave a sympathetic response, then went about my job.
