September 10th 1940

There was celebrating today.
I didn't know why.
My Mother said that we should be proud. She said my Father was very brave.
I don't think Father should go.
I think he should stay with Mother and I. But, he said he has to go for his country.
I don't know why! He IS in his country! So where is he going?

Mother went down to the shops. She said she might be a while, because there will be a big line.
I asked her why, and she said "Because of the war".
That's her excuse for everything.
Why is Father going? Because of the war!
Why is everyone in uniform? Because of the war?

What is a war anyway?
Is it even real?
