A: Yes dear, that’s right. That’s EXACTLY right.”
I don’t know I guess maybe I should reconsider my position on whether I am literal or not.

Actually, from what was said, I would have thought she was talking about the size of the bowl itself too. If I am talking about the amount of food to go in the bowl, I would say something along the lines of "cupful" or "half full" or "a few spoonfuls".
