Pledge of Allegiance

I have a funny story.

Yesterday, I was hanging out with Collin and a couple of his friends (to the set the scene).

We were talking about classes. I don't remember how it came up, but Collin asked me if Americans recite something before class. It took me like 2 seconds to figure out that he was talking about the Plege of Alliegiance. I told him that we put our right hand on our heart and people take off their hats to say the Pledge. I recited it for him and everything.

He started laughing! He thought the whole idea was super funny. After doing it for years and years, I don't even really think about it. It's something we used to do (before college, anyways). But I can see the humor in it. It is kind of silly.

I had to share that with you. The Chinese know about our Pledge of Allegiance... and they're amused.
