Transcript of “Shoes on the Wrong Feet”
We heard a little story from Mike in Kentucky who says,
My five-year-old granddaughter walked out to me and said,
Look, Grandpa, I put my shoes on and tied them all by myself.
She was very proud.
I looked at her shoes and said,
Well, honey, you did a great job, but I’m afraid you have them on the wrong feet.
And she looked down and said, No, Grandpa, those are my feet.
Yeah, so a nice little bit of ambiguity there, linguistically speaking.
Oh, what’s the funny thing you heard?
