Nigerian mums and their 'small small' instructions

My mum called me this morning. She say, 'Temitope, when you are coming, buy me small onion, small pepper, small tomatoes, and one tin milk.'

I get to the market and buy what she asked. I come home with three bags of groceries. She look at me like I just committed a crime. She say, 'Is this how small small looks like to you? You and your Lekki life.'

Mum, small small to you is enough to feed a whole street for a week. I can't with this generation of mothers and their measurements 😭
