During 9/11 I was 7 years old. I was in school (I was public schooled then) and a kid came up to us saying; "the Twin Towers fell!!!" we did not believe him, because he was known to be a jokester. My mom heard from a lady at the doctors office; "a plane crashed into the towers!!" she did not believe her either...
By the time we got home, the TV was completely out, it never came back until we got a satelite and special cable. However we were able to adjust the TV and caught a little about the tragedy, although it was very fuzzy. My parents were watching the extremely fuzzy, poor-no reception TV for every little bit of news we could get. It was a beautiful clear day... my mom said.
I remember when I heard there was going to be a war, I was thinking of the American Girl books and worried all the men I knew were going to be fighting in the streets... and wearing Continental Army uniforms. I also found Iraq on a map.
