Pluto has been Voted Off the Solar System

August 29, 2006

Yes, it’s true. Pluto is not a planet any more. and my boys are really upset. They feel sad for Pluto, being demoted like that just because it’s not big and special like the other planets, and it doesn’t have a tidy orbit.

Textbooks will have to be rewritten and even the School House Rock Inter Planet Janet song is out dated. But I’ve rewritten my own version of Pluto’s little part in the song. It goes like this. [sniff]

“Pluto, little Pluto is NOT a planet any more…boo…hoo” [sniff, sniff]

So in honor of Pluto and to all the little guys in the universe and on earth, I say you’re special and don’t let anyone tell you different! Just because you’re not as big as the other guys and you orbit differently doesn’t make you less of planet in our eyes.

We will remember you, and our family has a solar system styrofoam project hanging in our school room to prove you were once considered part of the solar system and considered a full fledged planet!
