She's wearing a blue shirt and pants.
That is the description a grandmother gave the cops and ambulance about her now missing 14 year old granddaughter.
I was walking to 7-11 to get some quart sized freezer bags and got pulled over twice.
A cop, coming from the opposite direction, swerves over into my lane. I'm thinking time to go into the speech about I know there aren't any sidewalks officer, but where am I supposed to walk?
He asked me if I just ran away from home.
I'm all what?
How old are you?
36.
Oh, you're not her.
Who?
There's a missing 14 year old girl, she's hurt, have you seen her?
No, what is she wearing?
A blue shirt and pants.
Uh? hair color, pants color?
That's all I know.
Oh, uh, well if I see her, I'll call you.
Ok thanks.
I keep walking and up behind me, pulls an ambulance.
Miss? Miss? We need to talk to you.
Hi.
Did you just run away from your grandmothers house on Olympia street? Are you hurt?
I'm 36. I'm wearing a black shirt and black jeans and a flannel mens jacket. Do I fit the description of the 14 year old that is missing?
Oh, uh, yeah, we are just asking everybody.
I got pulled over by a cop a few minutes ago, he told me. I haven't seen her but if I do, I'll call. We really could use a better description of this girl. Doesn't the grandmother have any pictures of her?
No. All we know is she's bleeding and ran out of the house.
Wow.
So I'm walking back from 7-11 after spending way too much on quart sized freezer bags, and a firetruck is driving behind me really, really slow.
I turned around and they said, ok, not her and drove off.
What the hell?
There's a bleeding 14 year old girl wearing a blue shirt and pants, somewhere in Sarasota right now, but nobody knows what she looks like or where she may be headed, and nobody has any pictures of her.
That is entirely messed up.

Unfortunately they are only going by the description given to them. Granny should have been more specific. But then again we are talking about the blue hairs of retirement central.

Omg! I hope they find this girl quick. What a nightmare.

Oh wow! Well I hope they can find her with that vague description! Now as for you being questioned...um, odd. Apparently they're color blind. Blue...black...2 entirely different colors.

From my point of view it sounds like you've got the body shape and walk of a 14 year old....

Haha! Ferd's comment made me giggle.
Pretty weird story, though - hope they find the girl. And then give Granny a new pair of bifocals.
