I Like Your Face

You are probably asking yourself, "Where did this hip and crazy new saying come from?"  Well, I will tell you.

First, let me preface this by saying that all great things have an origin story.  Clearly.  Look at Wolverine.  He gets an entire movie to tell his origin story.  Look at Buffy; she got a movie as her origin story before the TV series.  Point proven.

So, like everything great, my blog title has an origin story.

The Scene: My grade 9 English class has been working on literature circles for the last week or so.  Once in a while, a group member will pose a question that encourages quite a debate; once in a while, that debate will become heated, although rarely so heated that I need to step in.


Student 1: Blah, blah, blah, I am right about whatever I am saying about the book.

Student 2: Blah, blah, blah, I am right about whatever I am saying about the book.

Student 1: Well, your face!

Student 2: No, your face!

Student 1: But, I like your face.

Student 2: I like your face, too.

Students resume discussion in a more civilized manner.  The bell goes at the end of the block.


Student 2: Bye, S1.  I like your face.

Student 1: I like your face, too, S2.

Mrs. B: Bye class; I like your faces.

Class: Bye, Ms. B! We like your face.

Note: Student 1, who essentially started this completely denies this happening.  Whenever I say, "I like your face" at the end of the block, he says, "I never said that!" and the class responds, "Yes, you did!"
