Universal Loyalty
Why am I so upset about this Pluto thing? I mean, really, all this time Pluto has been going along, ceasing to be a planet, and my life hasn't been disrupted one bit. In fact, I've never even thought about it! But the announcement that Pluto has been demoted really rattled my cage! Why is that? And what is the big deal? Come on, you scientist readers you, ease my mind. Can't we just go on saying that Pluto is a planet, even if it is technically not? I mean, how long have we been taught that it really is one? Is anyone going to be tarred and feathered over this? We believe that the Earth is round and that it rotates around the sun. Galileo has been vindicated. We're good, honest citizens. Let us have Pluto! And yet, like I said, Pluto not being a planet isn't going to alter my universe at all. Maybe I just feel sorry for the puny planet. Or maybe it's just that my loyalty runs deep. At any rate, poor old Pluto. You'll always be a planet in my book!

OMG! You read my mind! I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday. This goes against everything we were taught. What the heck? What makes them think that they can change things on us now? We're old and stuck in our ways. My way is to believe that poor little Pluto is a planet!
What's that thing we learned to memorize the planets?

Pluto isn't a planet anymore...and that's just weird!
I know, isn't it weird? We've been conditioned to think that Pluto is a planet! I don't know how I could ever believe otherwise. Though whether it is or isn't is really of no consequence to my life. So why the big announcement? We learned it this way: My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pickles. So what will the new variation be? My Very Eage Mother Just Sent Us Nickles. Or something like that. Not as fun. I want nine pizzas or pickles.
My very entergetic mother just saw us NAKED!
Heh.
CBB!!!!!!!! That is GENIUS!!!!!
