I'm sorry, but the thought of that conversation struck me as hilarious!!

If I remember well, Umbridge's wand is described as being unusually
short. Maybe no longer than a chopstick? <eg> SCNR

We haven't seen many wands so far, but in general, they seem to be at
least seven inches long. At least we aren't told Harry tries a shorter
one at Ollivanders. Lily's was ten and a quarter inches, James' eleven
inches. Harry's wand is eleven inches long, too. Hagrid's seemed to be
unusually long (16 inches), but he's half giant.

Let's see: the chopsticks in my kitchen drawer are 26 cm long, that's
roughly 10 inches, the proper size for a wand, though I'd say they are
a bit thin for a wand. ;)
