And then there was Pluto


Ben has a space puzzle that he likes to put together. I guess it was made fairly recently because Pluto is not on the puzzle. Well...everytime he puts the puzzle together we always recap and name all the planets on the puzzle.

Well, yesterday after we finished the puzzle and named all the planets he asked me "Where's Pluto?" We tried to explain to him that Pluto isn't necessarily a planet. Well, I wasn't going into the whole "binary planet system" theory or something like that, so we explained it this way..."Pluto is too small to be a planet."

Well...then he said, "Maybe when Pluto grows up he can be a planet."
