Oh this hit home. I've spent the last couple of days trying to explain 9-11 to a couple of kids whose only real reference for death is losing their 5 year old playmate to cancer. Trying to reassure them after they see a scary picture of planes flying into buildings, answering their questions, but knowing that they already doubt me when I say that most people live to a ripe old age. They always mention their friend, Diego.
