A "pair" of shoes

I've mentioned before that I'm not a huge shopper, so when I need something I stock up to ensure I won't have to make another trip for awhile.

The other night, I decided I needed a new pair of winter shoes. I ran to the store after dropping Chad off for football and made it back in time for the start of the game. I was gone less than 30 minutes.

Later, he asked if I had found a pair of shoes. Yes, I said, I did.

What do they look like? he asked.

[silence]

"Which ones? I bought three."

They were on sale, I needed shoes...and I've worn a new pair every day this week!
