"Hi, Grandpa, this is your oldest grandson and I'm in the hospital. I've been in a car accident and have a broken arm. I also was given a ticket for driving under the influence. Please don't tell anyone that I'm calling you because I don't want to upset anyone." Can you call my lawyer at 877-402-9355 and he will let you know how to get the money to me."
