Anyways.... our class had several athletes & popular kids in it, and one of them (Steven) was known for being quite the stud of the senior class. Well, Steven was talking about something to the teacher, and he said "well I was lying down because I had a headache" (something like that) and she said very loudly "NOW STEVEN - it is LAYING in bed... you don't LIE in bed, now do you?" and the whole class just LOST it - because, um well, YEAH - he did lie in bed quite a lot 
{okay - I'm done with this useless side track now } [/B]

I know this wasn't the point of your story but I thought "I was LYING down......" was the correct usage. I could swear I was always told it's NOT "...LAYING in bed...". Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
