We used to start each day in my kindergarten class with the Pledge of Allegiance. Being a kindergartner, I had no idea what exactly it meant, but I did understand enough to know it meant I was agreeing to SOMETHING. So, to avoid accidentally committing myself to something major before I understood it, I would just mouth the words, letting everyone else's voice cover for me.
A childhood belief about the pledge
others believed things like this

- 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 when a radio anouncement for a club said "No Cover" that meant No Clothes.— Aaron
- I used to believe that the Chinese boy in my kindergarten class flew from China every day to get to class.— Debi
