9-11

Well since today is 911 I decided I’ll write about where I was and what I was doing on the devastating attack of terror that occurred in 2001.
I open my eyes very tired from the late night of watching cartoons.
My mom has a very worried look on her face as she is watching fox thirteen news.
I ask what is wrong and she explained the best she could without worrying me (I was in second grade) that we were under attack.

I probably should have been in school, but I guess my mom figured school would be canceled or something. I remember I was just happy that I didn’t have to go to school.
Then after seeing the giant towers fall on television I came to the best conclusion I could in my seven-year-old mind that this was very much real.
After the news repeated the same clip about three times I changed the channel to nickelodeon and watched cartoons the rest of the day.

Dude I love how chill you are about it. It's like in all reality a seven year old doesn't really care. What does a seven year old really want to do? Watch cartoons of course!
