My experience was pretty similar. I was eight at the time ... I remember we had some family over, and my aunt had been playing some board game with me. It was pretty late. Someone turned on the TV, and then I saw the footage of the buildings burning.
I was confused and a little scared, and everyone in the room had gone silent. I remember that I was really tired (like on the brink of sleep) and that I'd heard the words "America" and "attack". I'm pretty sure I fell asleep on the couch as people were watching, and I remember waking later up for a couple of seconds and realizing that my Dad was carrying me to my bedroom.
