On a plane!

I class earlier this week we were talking about the JFK assassination and went through the entire ordeal. The next day we started talking about Robert F. Kennedy and a student asked if he got assassinated too. I explained that he did, but that we would talk about that later on.

“On a plane! He died on a plane right?”

“No, he died in a hotel kitchen.”

“Well which one was assassinated on a plane?”

I had to stop and think, but I realized he was talking about John F. Kennedy Jr.

“JFK Jr. died in a plane crash, he wasn’t assassinated – but that’s how he died”

“Wait? JFK Jr.? Wait, whose son was he? ……… Ooh, that was bad”
