Variations on a Theme

The teacher asked me: What Chinese food do you like?

I replied: I like spicy tofu.

What I heard all day long in the hallways...

"What do you like Chinese food?"
"I like Chinese food is spicy tofu."
"Spicy tofu, spicy tofu, spicy tofu (kind of sing-song)."
"I like gyoza (potstickers)."
"Do you like Chinese food?"
"I...like...I...I...like...gyoza."

and my all-time favorite:

"I like spicy tofu, and I LOVE you!"

Awwww!

    The teacher than told me "I love you" today also told me "I don't like Chinese food." Apparently our kyushokku was Chinese today.
