*Thanks*, Cassie.  I laughed all the way through your post.  I knew 
that my students weren't Roswell-type space aliens.  

And yesterday, we had yet *another* conversation about it, because 
some of my fifth graders are tackling GoF and were reading during 
last-day-before-vacation free time in my Writing Skills course.  
They're younger than my eighth graders, so I didn't post their 
ideas.  But they pretty much have the same POV as their older peers.

Hmm.  Maybe American preteens/teens are different from the British 
variety when it comes to affairs of the heart... but I seriously 
doubt it.
