Asking students if they remember anything from 9/11 and them replying that they weren't born yet.

I can top that. I was at the 9/11 site and museum a couple months ago, and there were a ton of school kids there, laughing, having a grand ole time. One kid, while watching a video of the 2nd plane hitting, commented that it was through butter.

Everyone old enough to remember that day pretty much walked through the whole place in silence or minimal talking. The kids who weren't born yet acted like it was a fun time.
