In England we had to listen to 'God Save the Queen', then say the Lords Prayer every morning. Then when we moved here & I had to listen to both of those plus Oh Canada... half in English and half in French.
I always rebelled against that stuff too. I never closed my eyes during the lords prayer and always said the wrong words.. "Our Father who farts in heaven..."
