Good job, Mom!

I talk to Caitlin a lot about the WOT... for the first several weeks after 9/11, I had to do "Osama checks" in her closet before she would go to sleep....

In fifth Grade, she startled her teachers during "Health" class when they were talking about illeagal drugs and why you should not use them.

Most of the kids stod up and said, "Drugs are bad for you, etc".

MY daughter stood up and said, "I won't use drugs because I don't want to give money to Osama! "

The soccer moms stared at me the next morning when I dropped her off, LOL!

Good job, Mom!!!!!!!!!

In September of 2001 she was only 3, and went to pre-school 2 days a week - that horrible morning she was sent home with a fever of 102. We lived in a flight pattern of the C-5's stationed at Dover AFB and she learned early the true meaning of the bumbersticker "Jet Engines-the sound of FREEDOM" because to her it means another one going to "help President Bush punish mud for breaking those buildings and making my mommy cry"

Just remembering the first time she said that to me brings tears to my eyes - I had to pull the car over to the side of the road when she said it.

I will remember your explanation to Caitlin about the drugs - Jax will be able to understand that. Thanks.
