My reasoning

I can remember being in school and standing to say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. As early as first grade I can remember not wanting to say the words "under god" in the pledge. I remember the first time I didn't say the words I moved my lips but didn't make the sound. I can't remember the first time I didn't move my lips to the words. I was always very careful to end the pledge along with the rest of the class.

When I think about this now I wish I had had the guts to be defiant skip those two words and finish before the rest of the class.
