Creating Relationships ? for Code Challenge: Model Associations

Question

I've been stuck on this one for a while and have watched the video three times and still can't figure it out.

Question is: Add a belongs_to association to Status so that a status belongs to a user.

Here is what I did:

class Status < ActiveRecord::Base

attr_accessible :content, :user_id,

belongs_to :user

end

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

attr_accessible :content, :user_id,

belongs_to :status

end

Wouldn't it be on the User

has_many :statuses

Both shouldn't 'belong' to each other

This line doesn't belong:

attr_accessible :content, :user_id,

So it's just:

class Status < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user 
end

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :statuses
end
