Hey there listeners, since this episode was first published, we've actually added a bit

more information and context that we felt was necessary, just an FYI.

We hope you enjoy the episode.

My father used to have a drawer full of fake IDs.

I remember that one said that he was a doctor and another said that he was an airline pilot,

but the details of the others have faded.

I just remember looking at the miniature image of my father's face under the ID plastic,

and wondering what was going on.

Was this some scheme to get free parking?

Or was he actually trying to fool a specific person?

And why?

I asked once, but he wouldn't answer.

He said he'd explain when I got older.

Unfortunately by the time older came, an infection had ravaged his brain, so now I'll never

know the truth.

Never know if any of my theories were correct.

This is Invisibiliah from NPR, I'm Hannah Rosen.

And I'm Elise Spiegel, this is the second episode of our fall season, which we're using as

an opportunity to bring you stories each month that are a little bit shorter and a little

bit different in flavor from our usual spring episodes.

Today's episode is a bit of very weird thing that happened to Invisibiliah producer

Yoay Shoff a few months ago.
