Entry 11: "Revised History" 12.30.77

Today I gave my first lesson to the younger kids. There are only a handful of them, so I did manage to get them all together for a bit. They seemed pretty receptive, and when I explained that they needed to understand what really happened they seemed eager to learn.

The main thing I'm working on is explaining to them the whole situation that led to the war that led to the bombs that led to the Vault. I can remember that the Resource Wars started a bit before I was born, and that the US and China fought in Anchorage when I was a kid. My parents never forbid me from seeing the news, and as a result I have always had a pretty good idea that things weren't going great in the world.

I guess that's why my parents decided to move into Suburban Estates. They figured that with everything going on, the safest bet would be to move into a neighborhood where even atomic fire could be stopped thanks to a two-ton steel door.
