Yesterday, I managed to say "I don't have no money" without it being grammatically incorrect.
My husband had to do a double take - he thought that his lovely wife had uncharacteristically erred, until he thought it through all the way. I'd offered the girl "all the money in my wallet" to try a pickled mushroom. She countered with "you probably have no money", to which I replied "I don't have no money" - I knew there was something, I just didn't know how much.
Luckily, I didn't have to hand over what turned out to be $18, as she declined the mushroom altogether.
Would you eat a pickled mushroom on promise of something more than "no money", or would you need to know the dollar amount in advance?
A pickled mushroom? Ew.
ReplyDeleteI'd need more than $18 ....
so funny, i offer that all the time to my kids (they are clearly simple children, b/c they are always ok with getting what happens to be there)
ReplyDeleteonce, on a particularly sleepy morning, i kept groggily offering them five bucks to let me sleep a little longer.
when i finally got up, my tab was fifty bucks. (and yes, i paid it)
You would have to show me the benjamins first.
ReplyDeleteI would eat them even if there was actually no money.
ReplyDeleteI would try one if there was the promise of money involved.
ReplyDeleteI love mushrooms so much, so I would eat it free.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably eat any tidbit proffered by you, m'dear.
ReplyDelete;-)
I would take you up on it...course...I adore pickled mushrooms ;-)
ReplyDeleteNot a chance! I'm a very picky eater.
