by Keith Kendrick I’m joining Lisa-Jo Baker at Five-Minute Friday. The topic she has chosen for us to write on is SHE “She did it!” the little girl wailed, looking at her smushed ice cream cone drooling on the cement. When your the teacher of younger children, it is not uncommon to deal with the “She did its” or the “He did its”. But what is really behind these heart-felt wails of the children.

Silence should mark this day, 9-11, as we remember the lives lost, the families torn apart, the shock wave of terror that still lurks in our country, and the heroes who gave their lives.
