A childhood belief about the pledge
others believed things like this
- I used to believe it was illegal to not recite the pledge at school. Anon
- I used to believe that the "Pledge" of Allegiance had something to do with our "Pledge" cleaner. — Pledge
- I thought the Pledge of Allegiance was "to the United Steaks of America," and that we were saying it to cows.— bessy
- I used to think "from which it stands" was "for Richard Stans".
