mon (petite) amie

my officemate needed to call someone so i lent him my phone.  naturally, it was my number which registered on the other end.  he said he didn't speak right away and the one who answered kept on saying, "mon amie... mon amie..."

my officemate asked what it meant.  i said it's french for my friend.

background:  sometime back, the one he called referred to me as mon petite amie.  i reacted violently, ha-ha-ha.  he was surprised i understood.  i corrected him saying it should just be mon amiemon petite amie is my sweetheart.  just mon amie is my friend.  big difference the petite makes.  BIG.
