Science with Kidzilla – Planets Edition
Before leaving work today, I called Fab Hub and Kidzilla to let them know I was on my way home. Kidzilla got on the phone…
“Uranus, Uranus, Uranus…”
Please, God, let my daughter be talking about a planet and not someone’s butt. Amen.
“Mamma, guess what we learned about in school today?”
Please, God, let it be planets. Amen.
Me: What did you learn about today, Zilla?
Z: Space!
Whew!
Me: So, what did you learn?
Z: We learned about planets. Mars is a planet. Uranus is a planet.
Me: Yes, Mars and Uranus are both planets.
The twelve year old boy who lives in my brain needs to stop laughing. Right. Now.
Z: Jupiter is a planet.
Me: Yes.
Fab Hub: Tell Mom all of the planets.
Z: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus.
Me: Zilla, that’s awesome! Hon, did you coach her?
Fab Hub: Nope, she learned that in school this morniing.
Me: Wow, Zilla! I am so proud of you!
Holy crap. I’m forty-two years old…I don’t know the order of the planets. But my Kid does.
Fab Hub: Zilla, tell Mom what planet was demoted.
Z: Pluto. Pluto used to be a planet, but now it’s just a huuuuuge aaaass…..
Could this conversation be any funnier?
Z: …..teeeerooooid!
Me: That’s true. Poor Pluto.

Some days I feel just like Pluto!
I know what you mean… 🙂 Happy weekend, May!
Pluto will always be a planet to me. I mean, come on…it was my favorite planet when I was a kid and now they want to take that away from me? Nope. It’s still a planet.
I love funny kids conversations when they don’t realize what is so funny.
I can not make Pluto an un-planet. Poor Pluto.
Exactly! Those are the ones we’ve started writing down because they are just so entertaining.
Ha ha ha. Uranus.
I know.
There’s got to be a mnemonic for the order of the planets out there.
Never forgot: King Philip Comes Over for Girlie Shows (kingdom, phylum, class, order, genus, species). And I cannot NOT laugh every time I hear “Uranus.” I am a child.
I did not know that King Philip one…perhaps this is why I did not do well in science class. 🙁
It just is a funny word.
