One evening last week, when we were winding down the day, the Prince said to me, "I know you'll probably think it's really stupid, but I laughed at something today".
"What was it?" I asked.
"I saw a bumper sticker that read "I miss Pluto", and the more I thought about it, the funnier it was."
"Ahahahaha! That's great!" I said.
And the more I thought about it, the funnier it was.
I know Pluto was only 'downgraded' from a planet to a dwarf planet, and it's not like it ceased to exist, but...
I miss Pluto, too.
It was always my favorite planet in our solar system; poor little thing, stuck way out there all by its lonesome.
I told the Prince I wanted to have one of those bumper stickers and, of course, the Prince got me one of those bumper stickers.
Here it is:
Know what I'm going to do with it?
I'm going to frame it.
And it's going to hang on my 'gallery wall' when it's finished (the wall, that is), right alongside a lot of other quirky pieces of 'art'.
Because it makes me feel better inside to acknowledge the loss of Pluto.
And because it makes me laugh.
