Louise was running through the planets the other day. She was trying to impress me with her knowledge of all the planets.
“Mommy, I know all the planets and in order!!”
“Oh yeah? What are they?”
“Mercury…Venus…Earth…”
(Counts on her fingers)
“My…very…excellent…oh Mars!…Jupiter…Saturn…”
(Users her fingers again…not sure why. We’re not counting. I guess it’s because we’re listing.)
“My very excellent mother just served us…”
“Ur-en-us? Urenus?”
She has trouble pronouncing it. She says it with a “short e” sound.
“No, Ur-A-nus”.
“Oh! URANUS! URANUS! URANUS!“
She’s repeating it so that she can memorize it.
Quite a word to be stuck on.
“Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, UrAnus, Neptune…PLUTO!”
“My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas! That’s what you use to memorize the planets Mommy!”
Well at least she included Pluto…even despite the fact that they are now trying to say that Pluto is NOT a planet. It’s not big enough, according to scientists, because there are other objects out there that are larger than Pluto. Click HERE for a brief explanation.
Whatever, it’s a planet!
So, now what are we going to do with the ACRONYM?
My Very Excellent Mother Just Served us NACHOS?
My Very Excellent Mother Just Served us NUGGETS?
-Jane, URANUS!
