I heard my husband say "I don't have any __________ (fill in the blank). Last month he insisted that he didn't have any shorts. I then proceeded to pull about 15 pairs of shorts out of his dresser. I will confess that only about half of those still fit.
For the past few months I have heard "I don't have any shoes". He has been wearing one pair for everyday and then another for church. Today Cal said "Dad, did you get new shoes?" Dante responded with "no these are just a pair I don't wear very often".
I questioned Dante "are they the ones that have holes in the bottom?" "Nope", was his response. "Well they must be because I know that you don't have ANY shoes" I replied.
Well in Dante's book "ANY" has a totally different meaning than in everyone else's dictionary.
I then asked Dante if there was something wrong with the shoes and he said "no they are just black". So apparently you don't have any shoes if they are black.
