"Are you saying I have a crocodile mouth?"

I’d been typing up some exams in the computer lab and the principal called to inform me lunch was ready.
 I was hungry and uncertain what food awaited me at home

(this was the food awaiting me at home...)

so I accepted.

One teacher reprimanded me for taking such small spoonfuls.

“But I am afraid if I overload it, the rice will fall before it reaches my mouth.”
“You must do like this. Watch,” he demonstrates, “Like a crocodile.” 
“But I do not have a crocodile mouth.” 

Laughter, followed by him repeating what I said to the other teachers, followed by more laughter.

“Are you saying I have a crocodile mouth?” he then asks.
“…umm…ahh…no.
