Dear Mommy,
Everyone is talking about nine eleven. What is this?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
It was a terrible event, when terrorists used airplanes to kill people. Buildings collapsed. Thousands of people died. The horror of it stunned the world.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
What a terrible predator! What species is a terrorist?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Human, unfortunately.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I thought humans killed with guns.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Sadly you’re right, and that’s much more common than airplanes.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
It’s strange that humans regard each other as prey.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
It is strange. I really can’t say anything in our defense.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
But humans also do wonderful sweet loving things.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
We’re capable of great extremes.
Love, Carolyn
