I was 8 and I was at home watching Bob The Builder and I was about to go to school. The phone rang and my mom answered it and it was my aunt asking my mom if she was watching the news and my mom said “what channel?” And my aunt said “any channel.” Then my mom turned and I was annoyed and I saw a plane hit a building and I was just confused. My mom took me to school and I was telling the kids in my class but they didn’t believe me. After school my mom picked me up and my sister had a dentist appointment and everyone in the waiting room just sat stone faced in silence watching the news. On the way home we saw people praying in the park. The next day all the kids were talking about it in school. I was very young but I remember how scared everyone was for awhile.
