I was pretending to be sick that day because fuck school. Public education only serves to brainwash us into fear mongering toads who listen to whatever authority we place ourselves under next. I was young at the time but intuited this, so instead of learning algebra I was running the coal economy on Runescape.
I walked into my parents bedroom and they were both watching the news. Which was odd, we were not a family of news fiends. I learned what had happened and looked at the towers on the screen. I felt unimpressed. Didn't see what the big deal was. I then returned to making a fortune in Runescape, which I would later lend out to rich kids in school for real money ($20 a week for a million on loan.)
The next day, at school, we were told by our teachers that we could not tell the autistic kid in our grade what had happened. He would get too upset. It took me most of the day to realize what they were even talking about.
Good old Texas bubble.
