Here's what he said: New oil filters have a tendency to suck up oil. Mine must have sucked up enough oil so that it didn't show up in the sight glass at all, eventually releasing the oil again so I could see it.
That's completely BS. 
My thoughts too  . A half pint filter sucking up three quarts of oil  .
Most likely scenario, it was on the sidestand the first time. One of the switches was in the off position.
As she's a new bike owner, it's completely understandable how that could happen.
Best way to check oil level is with the bike on a jack, just enough to make it level.
Next best way, have someone sit on it and hold it in the balanced position.
Holding it yourself and bending down to look is only for those with experience and sufficient strength to do so.
Oh, and be sure that there's sufficient light to see the glass clearly.
