I didn't make it up, I swear

Been reading lots of conversations about the American Pledge of Allegiance - and was struck, once again, by the fact that I have vivid memories of being in primary school and having to recite the Australian version - and yet, I have never met another Australian who remembers doing this.

It goes like this:

I love God and my country,
I will honour the flag,
Serve the queen,
And cheerfully obey my parents, teachers, and the law.

I swear I used to have to say this every Monday morning during school assembly. Even if I'm wrong about that, I've certainly said it enough times that I know the whole thing off by heart.

And yet, no-one I've talked to ever remembers doing this. So... possibly I'm delusional?
