My husband and the boys do have some odd conversations!
This weeks kicks off with a discussion about the Evening Star…
My husband had taken the 7yo shopping, after his little brother and sister had gone to bed, one evening last week (as a treat!). It was a clear night, so they were looking for the Evening Star.
Hubby was explaining to the 7yo that it was a planet (Venus) which lead to a discussion about how many planets there were. Hubby asked if the 7yo knew about Pluto.
The 7yo’s response?
Yes. It was a planet but now it’s not because it was too small. I don’t think that’s fair. You shouldn’t pick on a planet because it’s too small. It’s like picking on a person because they’re small – it’s not nice.
So, there you go, powers that be.
Demoting Pluto was mean!

hahaha! We’ve had similar conversations with my 6 year old….She’s been learning about the planets at school….
It was very funny – bless him!
Yea dad, picking on planets isn’t nice ;) So sweet that he knows not to discriminate about size already! x
It is, isn’t it? Bless! Did make me chuckle though :)
My daughter and I thought this was so funny. And we were also impressed that he knows so much about Pluto.
I was a little surprised as well to be honest! But, it is amazing what they pick up. Certainly made me smile, bless him!
It’s the mixture of scientific knowledge and social awareness in his thinking! What a gem of a comment!
It’s times like these that I’m very grateful to my blog, it would be so easy to forget x
Oh bless – but I think he has a point ;-)
He does really, doesn’t he ;)
I totally agree – Poor Pluto…….. we all learned about My Very Easy Method Just Shows Us Nine Planets (Mars, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) now we just have nine ********* – your little one is very smart and kind #wotsofunee
I know, I wonder if there’s a new rhyme yet?! It was actually quite a sweet thing to say :)
You know what I agree with him! I’ve always felt uncomfortable about poor Pluto!
Lol! I know, we need to stick up for the small among us… at 5’1″ I’m with him all the way!
