What The Pluto?
Ok, I'm one of those people that is going to be annoyed that Pluto is getting dissed as a planet. So instead of adding 3 planets in the end they are removing one. The reason they are stripping it of it's title is because of it's funky orbit. It's now going to referred to as a "dwarf planet".
This is why Pluto will always be a planet in my book...
Back when Cade was younger we used to read this story called Guess How Much I Love You. In it a baby rabbit said he loved his mommy rabbit as high as he could reach. The mommy rabbit would one up him and say she loved him as much as she could reach, which was more. The story continues with the distances getting further and further and finally ends with the baby rabbit telling the mommy rabbit that he loves his mommy all the way to the moon as he falls asleep.
Great story, but what the heck does that have to do with Pluto? Well somehow Cade & I managed to make a "game" up based off this story. At the time Cale hadn't been born. The story ended, but we kept it going. Eventually we ended up at Pluto, which at that time was the furthest real planet in our solar system. But just going to Pluto wasn't far enough, it was a round trip. :) "I love you to Pluto and back and back again" was born. So we were saying this to each other all the time. Eventually we made rules. The game was from 7:00 PM - 12:00 AM. First person to say it to the other person would win. It plays a little different with 3 people, but you get the idea. Cale plays now that he understand what the heck is going on. :)
It's not an exciting game, but the kids like it and it has a special meaning to us.
So the three of us (the boys) have decided to not accept this ruling and we will always consider Pluto a planet. :)
