Poor Pluto

Caleb has recently become fascinated with space. He has memorized his planets in order and is particularly curious about the controversy surrounding Pluto's status. He and some friends in the homeschool co-op got into a debate over the status of Pluto during one of their lessons. If he can't find Pluto on a map, he's been know to say such things as, "Well, I guess they gave up on Pluto!" A few nights ago, he was naming all of the planets for his Papa. He ended with Neptune, and paused, biting his tongue. As Madi blurted out "Pluto!" Caleb simply muttered under his breath, "Dwarf planet."
