Growing up Pluto was one of the nine planets in our solar system. Then a few years ago astronomers decided that it wasn't one. I don't think they quite understand that chaos that created. How was a parent supposed to help their kid on homework making the solar system without that ninth planet. Eight is just unbalanced. And then they added some "unnamed" planet. This is just wrong.
And so I pledge to continue calling Pluto a planet.
Point well made, Tracy...we want Pluto back! :)
ReplyDeleteI refuse to learn the "new" math, so Pluto's safe in this house.
ReplyDeleteIt totally messes up the way to remember the planets, but I don't remember what that was! :)
ReplyDeleteThere's a kid's book called, Poor Pluto, about it not being a planet anymore. My kids used to like that book.
