I remember I heard about how the Trade Center was hit by an airplane on the radio on the way to a morning care lady on the hillside. I didn't think much about it, probably because I had no clue what the World Trade Centers even were. When I got to her house, my dad her what was going on, and then she started going crack-a-lackin'! She turned on the TV, and everything was on the same thing- "Terrorists Bombing," "World Trade Centers on Fire," etc. The entire morning, she sat fixated on the TV. I went to school where most people, like me, didn't even know what the buildings were, and therefor, we didn't really talk about it. The teachers sure did though. After school, once I had taken the bus to to my childcare persons house, she was still sitting there on the couch in the same spot. She seemed to be sleeping wiith her eyes and mouth open. That wouldn't be the last timepeople heard about that story for a long while.
