Textbooks have to be re-written. Mickey needs to get a new dog. Pluto has been demoted, and I am sad about it.

During the 7th grade, I clearly remember making a model of the solar system out of Styrofoam balls, a hanger, and some string. There were 9 planets. I remember picking a very small ball to illustrate the furthest planet from the sun. I believe I colored it purple. Earth had to be Blue, and the next best color to represent the cold atmosphere of Pluto was purple. When I studied for the test, I memorized the order of the planets by chanting M-VEM-JaSUN-P! M-VEM-JaSUN-P! The P was extra spirited with a fist in the air.

A Pluto Haiku:
Pluto how dare you
Too small, crossing Neptune's path
A dwarf: Demoted!
