The day that bin laden was killed, I asked Kassidy if she knew who he was.
Me: Kassidy, do you know who osama bin laden is?
Kassidy: Yes.
Me: Who is he?
Kassidy: He is a bad terrorist who killed a bunch of people and wants to kill more.
Me: Guess what? The US got him today. We finally killed bin laden.
Kassidy: (with the biggest smile I have ever seen on her face and pumping her fist in the air) GO USA! GO USA!
Strange what they pick up on all by themselves because we really don't talk much about 9/11 and the "wars" are not affecting our family directly so I wonder where she got all that from. She wasn't even born when 9/11 happened. I guess we need to be mindful of the fact that kids (typical or not) are always absorbing and listening, even if we think they are not.
