announcements

Today was a big day for the Katie bug. She was one of the team from Mrs. Massey's marvelous kindergarden class to do the morning announcements, including leading in the pledge of allegience and the pledge to the Texas flag. (Why we should have allegience to the Texas flag I don't know. I am not in favor of littering on the highways or rampant pollution, but how would we be disloyal to Texas?)

Anyway, Katie had to be there early this morning, and of course I went in with her and listened to the announcements in the library. She did a great job reading her announcement; it included tough words to read like "reasonable" and "responsibility." Words that are not exactly in the wheelhouse of the average kindergardener, but she did great.

It is not everyday that gets to have a highlight by 7:50 am, but today was one. And the water in the pool is officially warm enough for swimming.

Wait? What? You have to explain this further. There is a pledge to the Texas flag? I have never heard of such a thing. Please tell me how it goes.

I am officially giddy at the thought of what it could contain. With such a backwards state, the possibilities are endless.

Here is a link where you can read all about it:

The pledge is stated as follows: "Honor the Texas flag;I pledge allegience to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."

I don't even know what that means.
