The Plane Truth

By, Nan Falkner

With the World Trade Centers in rubble, Central Park Tower was top dog.  Bennett sighed as his father retold the history of what happened on 9/11. 

“But Daddy, what happened to the people on the planes?”

Chris hugged his son and kissed his head.  He knew this would bother Benny for a long time, but he needed to know the truth and he slowly took a deep breath.

“They died too, son.”

Benny began to cry and told his dad “Those people that did this are really mean and bad!” 

“I know Benny, now it’s our job to stop them.”   

I’ll Be Right Down

“WAIT . . . I’ll be right down”, Ann shouted.  “I have to wash my hair.” 

“REALLY?”  He said, waving back.  What is wrong with her?  I don’t care if she’s bald – she’s a babe!   He smiled again and picked some free purple and pink flowers.  After he made a pretty bouquet, he sauntered toward the stairs whistling. 

Grinning with anticipation, and knowing she would be happy when he gave them to her. 

So, up the stairs he went, bouquet in hand. 

Opening the door, she screamed “I just planted those”!

“Gulp!”
