We Don't Talk About Pluto

We don't talk about Pluto, no no. We don't talk about Pluto.
It was 2006 (It was 2006)
And there were nine planets in the sky.
IAU walks in with a mischievous grin (dwarf planet).
You telling this story or am I? 
IAU said a planet's big (and spherical).
A planet doesn't share it's orbit (but Pluto does).
Pluto's now a dwarf planet (not one of the eight).
We don't talk about Pluto, no no. We don't talk about Pluto.

Very very rough start to a parody of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" for Pluto Day, February 18. We had some fun figuring out different parts to the song. I love what Lucky figured out for a certain part of the song (you can figure out which part). "If you land on Pluto you would freeze. Ss ss ss."
This morning after working on this a bit with Jr. Jr. and Lucky, we then got into other discussions such as what would happen if you tried to step on Mars as compared to trying to step on a gas giant such as Jupiter. Then we got into talking about Alan Shepard hitting golf balls on the moon. The golf balls didn't fly into space because while the gravity on the moon is less than on Earth, it is strong enough to pull the golf balls down to the surface again, just not as quickly as on Earth.
At dinner everyone got into the song creating. I just love this family. We also made sure to eat together for the holiday, No One Eats Alone Day.

A couple other holidays today: National Battery Day. Jeremy had to take the car battery out in order to change a headlight. National Caregiver's Day. I of course was taking care of Jet all day.

Cabin Fever!

(created by Jr. and sung to the tune of "Popcorn Popping")
I looked out the window and what do I see?
People all social distancing.
Spring has brought me such a nice surprise,
Hay fever so people stay inside.
When I go out I wear a mask
And gloves on my feet, no easy task.
It wasn't really so, but it seemed to be
Quarantine making people crazy.

Catch of the Day- Parody

My husband and I were watching... Well honestly this is the husband writing- I don't have a husband myself. Anyway we were watching the old Star Trek series and had to pause it in order to help our daughter with something. When I say we, I mean my wife helped my daughter. I used the time to capture the screen and edit the picture with disturbing results.
