I'm off to the beach, but I'll return and give some long-winded responses. I really appreciate all the well thought out stuff you guys had to say.

However, I figured you'd all like to know: we throw around a stuffed animal version of Vivi when we do reading out loud in the class ("Throw to who reads next" kind of thing). There are a few kids who know who Vivi is... not surprisingly, all in my honors class :)
