Based on what I've read though, If I put him on AA or KK, then I never should've called the re-raise huh?

this is exactly the wrong way to think about it.
If you have a small pocket pair, you would prefer your opponent have AA or KK rather than two big cards. This assumes you are not calling off a large portion of your stack preflop. <10% is the general rule of thumb. Against multiple opponents, a little more than 10% is okay, but probably not more than 15%.
Your implied odds go through the roof if you opponent has AA/KK because he will have a hard time getting money out of you unless you have him beat...conversely, you will be able to extract the maximum when you are ahead since it's tough for someone to drop an overpair on the flop.
