My husband and I are resigned to the fact that we will have to learn everything all over again with our children. There are no longer 9 planets. There are no longer 4 food groups. The Soviet Union no longer exists. There are no longer 2 Germanys. And what the heck is Myanmar?

Just like the quote from Maya Angelou, we did what we knew how to do, but when we knew better, we did better.

As it happens, my children are grown and have long since moved out of the house. But, you're question is a good one. Had this taken place years ago, I would no doubt have felt obligated to share the news with the kids, but the timing would have been the foremost concern. Considering a child's tender sensitivity, their fragility, it would have been tricky indeed to have found just the right moment to try and explain it all so that they would have given the first rat's as s.

probably because of how stupid the idea was to sit for day on end and argue about why it should or shouldnt be a planet...i mean just cuz its called that dont mean that it cant or can have anything interesting on it...i mean i have no clue what it matters whats called a planet and whats not....its not like we live in the outer space and travel between space sectors and blah blah

You know what, I am so flucking sick of the media. EVEN if it is not a planet, no one REALLY needed to know. Just some jerk out there wants some credit for discovering something. It's not even relevant!, as far as I am concerned. When I heard that this morning on the news, I had to turn off the flucking t.v. Gee, whiz. :)

It's still a planet, just a "dwarf planet"

Not unless they ask. I'd rather tell my kids something like our family history.
