That is the opening question from the boys when I got home from school. I knew they were in a serious frame of mind by the looks on their faces.
I said, "Well yes I do, do you know about something that happened today?" Eli said, "It was very sad. They shouldn't have done that." Lucas said, "We weren't here, I was a baby in the Philippines but "they" shouldn't have killed all those people."
They both went on to talk about the specifics of 9/11. I was amazed how much they were able to absorb and process from the conversations at school. I probably wouldn't have been able to give them the essentials and then let them form an opinion. Needless to say, "they" shouldn't have done that and even though our children may not have been more than infants they can appreciate the bravery, sacrifice and sheer wrongness of such senseless brutality.
