And I was saying... ..

Last night, I called up a furniture repair shop.

Me: Uncle, 你有没有修理木的 Bed Frame?  
Uncle: 有!  哪里坏了?
Me: 我移床的时候,中间那个木的 Support Leg 掉了
Uncle: Ohhhh... 那个脚事什么的 huh? 铁的?
Me: Uh.... 木的咯?? (thinking at the back of my mind that a wooden bed frame with metal legs would look very funny indeed.)

This can add on to my collection of stories like: 

"Aunty, 有没有买Fake Eyelash?" 
"假的啊?"

and

"Aunty, 给我十块 Chwee Kueh"
"我们没有买十个的;只有四个,六个,还是八个."
"(-_-) OK, Auntie, 给我一盘四个和一盘六个的."
