This morning the headline news story was, of course, about the death of Osama bin Laden. After talking for a few minutes about his death, the news reports turned to reactions here in the States.
Apparently in D.C. hundreds of students gathered to celebrate in front of the White House. The news reporter said, "Now, most of these students were 8, 9, 10 years old when 9/11 happened."
I was rather offended that he would say the college students were only eight to ten years old on 9/11/2001. I was definitely older than that.
Then I remembered that I'm not a college student anymore. And I haven't been for several years. Oops.
Ha!! Oh man. Me neither! That is a reality check for sure. My students BARELY remember 9/11, they were like... 6 when it happened. That makes me feel old too.
