So you see, I went to Advo. For the first time in months the other day, and Mr. Johnson made me stand for the pledge of allegiance.

And listening to it REALLY confused me.

Cause really, they've been making us say it since kindergarten right? So, it's a pledge of allegiance. Shouldn't we only have to say it once and still have it be just as true, rather than have it be said every day for the rest of our public school lives?

And also, "I pledge allegiance to the FLAG…?!" why are we pledging our allegiance to a flag in stead of the actual United States of America?

The Spanish word for flag is Bandera… That's what Antonio Banderas' last name means. So are we going to start pledging our allegiance to him now? I can just hear it. Ringing from every classroom in the country; " I pledge allegiance to Antonio Banderas of the United states of America…." Except that he's actually from Spain or something….

Maybe he's just that cool that we have to pledge our allegiance to him too for every day the rest of our lives, right along with that flag.
