5 Hours One Sunday

Casey dislocated his pinky finger this morning in Sunday school. After nearly 5 hours in emergency, including x-rays and being completely sedated, the finger is perfectly back where it should be and Casey has decided that he no longer thinks having a cast is cool.

Sorry Abby! What Happened in the Year You Were Born only goes up to 1995.

Is it coincidence or something else...there were bombings in both of the years that the boys were born.
