Thanks for the reviews! (And sorry I took so long to respond. I've been insanely busy and low on energy - a bad combination.)

Ann - Sorry - I should have considered the fact that granola might not be common outside the states. It's pretty good, by the way, but nothing at all like a cupcake and I think most people would prefer the latter.

I love the way they teach statistics at your school! That sounds like such a great way to get kids interested. Being a math person myself, I never had Lois' attitude towards math clases (since I majored in math, this would have been a poor choice), but I did a lot of tutoring and teaching of math while in college and certainly came across a lot of kids who did. I think I was pretty good at making it seem easier to them, but I wish I had thought of ideas like this that would have actually made it fun.

Thanks, Bob, Laura, and Michael!

Female Hawk - I think in the show Clark is shown to be someone that lots of people find attractive, but I saw his persistence and his ability to stand up to her in a fight as the traits that made him win over Lois, so I thought those were the things she would ruminate on later as the important ways in which he was special. Glad they struck you as appropriate as well.

Thanks, Elisabeth! Although I'm not sure Clark would think Lois' rejection was soft. wink
