I took my son to the 9/11 exhibit at the NYS Museum and tried my best to explain to him what happened that day. It wasn't easy, but I felt it was necessary.
I've taken my son Brody to the NYS Museum in Albany at least half-a-dozen times. Sometimes, I avoid the 9/11 exhibit or pass through it quickly because my son (who turned 4 in July) wants to see animals and funky minerals and dinosaur bones; the fun stuff. He doesn't want to see his daddy tear up while gazing at the twisted metal and shrapnel that were once steel beams holding up the Twin Towers
