When I was young & we said the pledge of allegiance in school I always thought that was "and to the republice for witched stance". I was so relieved when I finally realized that it was "for which it stands". It just made so much more sense!
A childhood belief about speaking
others believed things like this
- 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 believe it was illegal to not recite the pledge at school. Anon
- I believed when young that horses with white faces were sick. My dad a great sense of humour— John Cavanagh
- I thought Scott Joplin and Janis Joplin were related. Two musicians with the same last name - it made sense!— Rita
- When I was 5, I thought cats were spawned from moss, since moss was so soft. Made sense to me.Anon
