Dwarf Planets

Nothing warms a homeschooling mother's heart so much as when her child, who she has spent countless hours instructing, understands and remembers the information taught and brings it up in casual conversation stating the facts correctly. Ryan commented that a certain individual who we know has a backside that could possibly be classified as a dwarf planet. Then he began to list the criteria and his explanations: 1) A dwarf planet must be in orbit around the sun - said individual is on earth, which orbits the sun - CHECK! 2) A dwarf planet must be nearly round in shape - no explanation needed - CHECK! 3) A dwarf planet has not "cleared the neighborhood" around its orbit - we are all still around and have not been "sucked into" or "flung out of" the area surrounding the person, so, no clearing of neighborhood - CHECK! 4) A dwarf planet is not a satellite. Now, don't get me wrong, I was impressed with his recall of the information and attention to detail - and he argued his points well; however, he WAS comparing someone's bum to a dwarf planet - I'm not so sure I'm overly proud of that................ but I did laugh :)
