I can remember asking, probably in first grade, which letter of the ones I >> was looking at Was elemeno? But once they explained it to me, it was fine.
I had the same issue with the Pledge of Allegiance. I asked why it was we were

This new song, every time they play it, somebody should hit Neil
deGrasshole Tyson in the mouth with a 2 x 4.

finally understood that the problem line was "Gee our old LaSalle ran >great". I could NOT make out what they were trying to sing in the

Rightists are always plotting to take things away.
