[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] "Pumpkins, remember what Mummy told you: some of your friends and teachers, OK probably 90% of the people at your school, may say something about God, and may think you should be respectful and thankful that you live in this country. But my precious shouldn't have to go along with that because Mummy knows more about all of this than they do! So you show them, Snowflake. If you hear your friends chanting something to the flag, you refuse to say the word "God!" Got that???!!! I know you don't understand all of this, but you do this for Mummy, OK?"[/quote] How about this: "Mommy, I learned something new in school, wanna hear?" "Of course, love" "I pwedge awegiance . . . one nation, under God, . . . " "Wow! You must have worked hard to learn that, it's got a LOT of words! I learned it at school, although not until I was bigger than you. I learned it in Kindergarten. Do you want to hear me say it?" "Sure!" "I pledge . . . one nation (pause) with liberty and justice for all." "You didn't say "under God"" "No, I didn't, I left those words out." "Why Mommy?" "Well, remember how we talked about how different people believe different things? I don't believe that there is a God. I think he's a nice story, but I don't think we're "under God", so I choose not to say those words. Some people choose to say them, and some people don't. You can choose whichever you want." "I like to say them." "Saying them is a good choice too. If you ever decide not to say them, make sure you pause like I did so that the people who do say them can catch up. Then you can finish with your friends."[/quote]
