My household was a minor affair, we had little candles in the shape of the WTC on the dining room table. We would thank George Bush for the Patriot Act and then light the candles. We had to be good, because George Bush was always watching us with the Patriot Act, but if we were good, we’d get little pilot’s wings pins.
The rich kids in my neighborhood had more elaborate plans. They had full on model WTC towers. If they were good, there would be RC planes under the towers on 9/11 morning. They were always showing me the cool videos when they destroyed the towers.
I’m sorry, what the f*ck?
Hey, listen, if you want to be an atheist and ruin our traditions, feel free to do that someplace else. We’re busy re-destroying the towers for the LORD.
I hate it when 9/11 non-believers barge in and pretend like 9/11 didn’t happen. Just because you never visited NYC before 2001, and just because the WTC looked like someone took another building, poorly upscaled and then copy-pasted it in Photoshop doesn’t mean that the towers weren’t real.
I believe that it happened. I’m just really confused that people light these candle diorama things…
My local pub had special commemorative drinks that game in a shot glass, layered red, white, and blue. You had to drink it pretty fast though or else it would turn into a brown sludge. Unfortunately it burned down and a couple of kids died.
You know “George Bush” is just your mom and dad, right?

I always wanted the lego but those big sets were really expensive.
Growing up Jewish was hard. I’d see the beautiful 9/11 towers at my friends houses and then they’d come to my house and I’d have to explain what the six day war candles meant
