You’re listening to the A-Z English podcast.
00:00:14
Jack
Welcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and today I’m here with my co-host social. And today we are going to do a would you rather question for the holidays and social today’s would you rather is, would you rather get one big gift?
00:00:32
Jack
Or several small gifts.
00:00:40
Xochitl
Dang, this is hard. It’s kind of vague, right? Like is 1 big gift I think like would rather get one big gift at this point because.
00:00:51
Xochitl
I think when you’re a kid, it’s like quantity over quality and you’re just impressed with your gifts and how many you’re getting. And like, oh, I got 20 gifts. Oh, well, I got 25. And then as you get older, like, the quality of the gifts are so much more important. So I think getting a high quality gift that was thoughtful or expensive.
00:01:13
Xochitl
Would mean a lot more to me than several smaller gifts that I would just take up space in my house. Probably.
00:01:22
Jack
Yeah, like when when they’re in this question, we say big gift. Are we talking about just like size or like big meaning like expensive? And I take it to mean like an expensive gift, you know, versus several small cheaper gifts, but maybe.
00:01:40
Jack
If you add up all the small gifts, it equals the same money as the as the big.
00:01:48
Jack
But for me, like I’m I totally agree with you. When I was a kid, I would want more.
00:01:55
Jack
You know, opportunities to open presents.
00:01:58
Jack
You know.
00:01:58
Xochitl
Right. The surprise of it is like the suspense is a big part of it. When they’re a kid.
00:01:59
Jack
It’s like.
00:02:03
Jack
Exactly. It’s just how many how many presents.
00:02:06
Jack
Did you get? I got I.
00:02:07
Jack
Got 7 presents. I got 9 presents or whatever. It doesn’t matter if they’re, you know, terrible.
00:02:13
Jack
It’s just like.
00:02:14
Xochitl
It doesn’t matter.
00:02:15
Xochitl
Well, and kids are just impressed.
00:02:17
Xochitl
I wish that I.
00:02:18
Xochitl
Could go back to being a kid and and impressed by like a stuffed animal. A slinky.
00:02:22
Xochitl
Like a? Yeah, a thing.
00:02:24
Xochitl
Of slime and a cheap art supplies kit.
00:02:28
Xochitl
I wish like that was like.
00:02:29
Xochitl
Wow, I love this stuff, you know now.
00:02:31
Xochitl
I’m like, OK, that’s pretty much just junk. It’s just.
00:02:35
Jack
And where and where am I going to put this?
00:02:36
Jack
Stuff you know.
00:02:37
Xochitl
Yeah, exactly.
00:02:37
Jack
Now now I’m getting. Thanks for the clutter.
00:02:43
Jack
But like you know, getting like a nice diamond ring or something like that, you know, would be that’s something that you can, you know, it’s it’s something you’d want.
00:02:52
Jack
And and it’s.
00:02:53
Jack
Table. Yeah, I you know, I I I agree.
00:02:57
Jack
I think just like one really thoughtful gift, one really one big gift is is far superior to a bunch of small gifts. That is just gonna that are just going to end up in a closet somewhere or getting recycled, you know, six months later.
