- the moment Grandma's dog stole my hot dog
- the second I blew out my candle
Hints
- Small = one moment, one scene, one short time.
- Big = many moments, whole trip, whole year.
Misconceptions to watch
- Treats 'my best birthday' as small (it's a whole day — multiple moments).
- Treats 'lost my tooth at lunch' as big (it's ONE scene).
