In third grade, they’re learning about the planets currently.
I know this because one of our 3rd grade teachers rooms is set up so where she talks, her sound waves have a straight path to my right ear. All day, I hear third grade math and science (5th grade language arts for my left ear, but it’s not a straight shot, so it doesn’t make as big of an impact).
In case you were wondering…or in case you hadn’t considered it (like me)- the whole mnemonic “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Me _________” had to be changed upon the ousting of Pluto.
Let’s take a moment.
Pluto 🙁
My whole life…well, at least since 3rd grade or whenever Ohio decided to take me about the planets, I have used this version:
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Me Nine Pizza pies
WHY IS THERE AN EXTRA P FOR PIES? Anyone? AN-E-ONE???
I recognize that I may not have had a top-of-the-line primary education, but gravy- why not stop with PIZZA??
(Clearly this has begun to eat at me. Pun intended.)
Anyway- moving on. Nowadays, the chant has changed for the more delicious (and less ridiculous. Pizza pies. :shakes head: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, pie?)
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Me Nachos.
We can agree that while the lack of Pluto may be an outrage- melted cheese does help heal our wounds.
