Cathy: ..Oh, not much, Mom. I just got some boots. Mom: How many pairs? Cathy: What! Mom: If you bought one pair you'd say, "I got a pair of boots." If you bought multiple pairs you'd say, "I got some boots," hoping to fool me into thinking you only got one pair, which of course, you can't do. Cathy: Oh, for crying out loud, Mom!
