Have to share this: I worked with a couple of very gifted sixth-grade girls, "H" and "N", back in 2007, and I was aware that H had quite a crush on me. So H and I are playing chess one day, N sitting by patiently waiting to play the winner, and H makes a move and calls "check". I look around the board for a minute and say "actually, I think that's mate" - and N, totally deadpan, quips "Well, looks to ME like that's what's going on here." H was completely mortified and turned the brightest shade of red I've ever seen. For my part, I literally fell off my chair laughing.
