im a native spanish speakers and i didnt read it as i like big breast, more like "i love big cocks" and in a vulgar way.
be very careful, things like the word papaya refer to the fruit for most south americans, but to some it actually means CUNT(not pussy, beaver, straight out cunt)
//you can get you ass killed asking for papaya juice to a waitress in the wrong place
so my recommendation to you is until you actually know what the basic of conversational spanish dont try being a smart ass you might just come out sounding like an asshole.

I found this informative. Thankyou
Did you by any chance tell her what your intended meaning was in that particular sentence. Perhaps she read it as something completely vulgar and is docking you for saying something you never intended to say at all. Maybe, just maybe she would cut you some slack if she understood the intended meaning. Go to her contrite and explain that you are sorry for the slight. You had misread her encouragement for humor wrong and then BEG, very sweetly, for a little bit of the credit back on the assignment. Promise not to make any such statements in any future essays. Did you also explain to her that it was one of your first lessons with another teacher?
