I remember a kid at lunch saying a plane crashed into a building. I thought that happened weeks ago or months ago. It was a crazy lunchtime story. They never showed us. Then right when I got out of school, everybody's parents were there to pick up their kids. I was like, Is this a holiday? Why?

They were scared because it was a terrorist attack. They go, I just want to get my kids. You just never know. It's the United States. Because it wasn't just the Twin Towers. It was the Pentagon. They didn't know if it was going to hit anywhere else.

My mom, I remember walking to our car in the parking lot, and I was like, Is this a parents here? This is weird. She goes, I'll tell you when we get home, but you're going to remember this day for the rest of your life.
