Framed

I just got a very interesting phone call from my mom, who just got an interesting phone call from some nutjob woman who is convinced that I hit her while she was riding her motorcycle last night. Here's the story:

Apparently this woman, who I will call Mrs. X, was riding her motorcycle last night when a girl in a Chevy hit her somehow. They exchanged information, but the idiot woman lost it and decided to go browsing through the phone book looking for the perpetrator. For whatever reason, she remembered that the girl's last name was supposedly Rigatti and that she had graduated from Peters in '01 with her son. So Mrs. X looked through her son's yearbook, found me (since I was the only Rigatti in my grade) and then looked up my mom in the phone book to call her and accuse me of hitting her. There are just a few problems with this story:
1. I don't drive a Chevy.
2. I was at home last night at 9:30 when the accident supposedly happened. Thank goodness Guy was here to give me an alibi!
3. The girl had twins in the backseat of her car. As you can probably tell from my perfect figure, I obviously haven't had children, let alone twins. Okay, maybe I don't have a perfect figure, but I still don't have any kids.
4. The girl had Progressive insurance. I have State Farm.
5. The insurance was in the girl's dad's name -- Ray. My dad's name is Joe and he's been dead for 9 years.

My mom said the woman was getting upset with her over the phone, acting like my mom was just trying to protect her daughter and it really was me that hit her. She also claimed that the girl who hit her looked "exactly" like my picture in the yearbook. It obviously wasn't me, and I know it wasn't me, but it really bothers me that someone would have the gall to accuse me of something and call and bother my mom about it just because she's too stupid to keep track of important information like that. I really hope I get to hear the end of the story and find out who actually hit the woman and if I have a bizarro twin out there, but for now, that's all she wrote.

Guy has come to work with 2 kids in his car before. He leaves them in the car all day with the windows up. I have scolded him previously but as you know, he doesn't listen.

When I asked him about the kids, he said they were fellow Ron Paul supporters. At that point, I needed to know no more.

Don't you LOVE comments? :)
