When i was young, i went to a Christian School and we said the 3 plegdes every day and sang a couple songs afterward. I thought that you absolutely HAD to say the pledge or something bad would happen to you. When some of my friends would only mouth or not even say the pledge I thought they would die at any time or be taken away!!~!!
A childhood belief about the pledge
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that the "Pledge" of Allegiance had something to do with our "Pledge" cleaner. — Pledge
- I used to believe it was illegal to not recite the pledge at school. Anon
- I thought the Pledge of Allegiance was "to the United Steaks of America," and that we were saying it to cows.— bessy
- Through second grade I always concluded the pledge with '...indivisible, with liberty and just a straw.'— George
- My parents used to have an old radio. I thought it could only play old songs, like from when they were young.— kathy
- One of my friends in elementary school thought that Osama bin Laden was "a son of Aladdin". Anon
