Mackenzie: "Hey Mom, look! I arranged my hoop earrings to represent the planets: Here's the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and way out here is Pluto."
"Cool! But Pluto's not a planet anymore, remember. They changed their minds. I feel pretty sorry for him; I bet it really hurt his feelings."
"Well, the good news is that he won't find out for a hundred-million-years."

Absolutely brilliant.
1) Why is Mac arranging her earrings in diagrams of the solar system?
2) Why could I not do that even if I TRIED?
3) What's up with this whole Pluto thing? I've heard rumors but like, seriously? Poof, he's gone? We've still got Mickey's puppy though, right? Or was he cast out of orbit as well?
teehee, i crack myself up!
love mac
1) That's just what she does. Since she was little she lined EVERYTHING up - shoes, beanie babies, blocks, groceries... Weird.
2) I'm supposing you didn't read books on the Solar System just for FUN? Again, weird.
3) Last year "they" reclassified the definition of "planet". Pluto no longer fits and is now called a "dwarf planet" along with 2 others - I forget their names. (This exhibited nerdiness may have just made #2 more clear...) As far as I know, "Pluto" the dog still upholds the requirements needed to be classified as a "dog". Goofy... I'm not so sure about.
And also...
I thought it was less weird that she was representing planets with hoop earrings than the fact that she actually had enough hoop earrings to represent all 9 planets and a sun...
Good point.
You're so tan and pretty and I'm glad you're back. You sound great.
Let's email soon!
