"GREAT STUFF Up until about 2nd grade, i thought the pledge procceded something like this:
"I pledge alegence, to the frog, of theUnited States of America, and to the wee public, for witches hands, one nation, under God, invisible, with a little tea, and just rice for all"!"
Um, this is from a *book.* I can't remember the name of it, but it's from a book titled something like "A Thousand Paper Cranes" about a girl who emigrates from Japan to the US and gets leukemia.
A childhood belief about the pledge
