5th grade. Grandparents were supposed to fly that morning from Chicago to New Jersey. Because of fears the Sears Tower would be attacked and, well, because O'Hare is the largest airport in the world and no one exactly knew what the hell was going on, all flights were grounded.
For whatever reason our elementary school didn't tell us pomegranate, so I found out when I got home and was surprised to see my grandparents still there. Then I glanced at the T.V. and was filled in. Didn't impact me as much, like many, due to my age, but the memories are still there. My mother gets very emotional when she talks about it, though.
