Thanks, Perna. I'm glad that exaggerating is not necessarily a bad thing...I think it may have fooled me at the time, but not for long. Obviously it couldn't when I found out exactly what happened. That's a cute story!

I think the teacher was wrong as well - I don't see how she could have known if the girls were trying to get attention or not. Thanks. And that's a good point...even though I don't live in America and have never been to New York in my life, I still try and avoid hearing about 9/11 as much as I can...I've never seen the footage of the planes actually crashing, and I hope I never will.
Thanks again! And sorry my reply's so late.
