Adrian said he had a little catching up to do in his math workbook tonight.

When he brought out the workbook late at night, it turned out that the “a little catching up” was around 20 pages, which would take him at least an hour. He was quite tired by the end of it. I was quite annoyed that he had described this as “a little” and had just spent two hours playing board games in the evening instead of getting started on the homework.
