Today is the ninth anniversary of 9/11. We asked the kids if they knew what it was. Answer...No.
Jillian, age 6, is learning about the Incas and Aztecs and their use of chocolate; Griffen, age 10, is learning about The Blitz on London during WWII; and Kaitlyn, age 12, is learning about the Tudors. In fact, Griffen's lessons have been enhanced by our close proximity to an air museum which last weekend had a Battle of Britain air show with WWII planes flying overhead as well as the discovery of an unexploded bomb in the village the same day. However, I do think it is sad that as Americans our kids couldn't tell us what happened on 9/11. I hope that American History lessons back home include what happened that day.
