Hey guys, so today is 9-11. Depressing, right? Well, here's a scenario that keeps going through my head that might lighten the mood for you a little bit.
Me: So, in honor of the victims who died in the twin towers on September 11 2001, the victim's families, those who were killed that day helping others, and the children who lost their parents that day, let us have a moment of silence.
*5 seconds of silence*
Tony Stark: *raises hand* So… can I be done now? I was on the verge of a breakthrough with my Iron Man armor when you called this meeting.
Steve Rogers: *also raises hand* Um, yeah, I don't even know what nine-eleven IS anyways, so can someone explain it to me?
Tony: *rolls eyes* Jeez, Steve you've been back for over a month now, and you still don't know about it?
Me: Shhhh!
Agent Romanoff: Steve, nine-eleven is-
Steve: Look, I've been in ice for 70 years, okay? You can't expect me-
Tony: *snorts* Yeah that's an excuse-
Agent Barton: Tony, cut him some slack-
Thor: I am not aware of it either-
Banner: I'll explain it to you, Thor-
Me: *sobbing, banging my head against the wall* (Moans) Nooooooo!
*Avengers continue arguing while I pass out from banging my head on the wall for too long*
Okay, now I hope that what you got from this was not that I don't take nine-eleven seriously, because I do. Today I was sick and stayed home from school, and I was glad, because in Social Studies I would have been watching the nine-eleven video and sobbing my eyes out. If you're reading this, I would like for us to take a REAL moment of silence for those who died that day, and their families.

Okay, now let us take a moment to celebrate the fact that our president, senators, representatives, and others DID survive that day, and that we have killed the perpetrators of that heinous crime. Have a nice rest of your day, and never forget those who sacrificed their lives to save others that day.
