XH: Since we’re here [near a supermarket], do you mind if I just pop in to grab some ham before we go for dinner?
Me: No problem. Go ahead. I’m not hungry anyway. I ate a small piece of cake before meeting you.
XH: How small?
[I put the tips of my two index fingers and the tips of my thumbs together to form a square about 8x8cm in size.]
XH (wide-eyed and says incredulously): Small??? You call that small???? Miss Ho, you’re in denial!!!!
Me: Ok, FINE. A medium-sized one then!
[Both of us burst out in laughter]
