First Pluto and now this... ?

Ok- I was willing to set aside 12 years in the public school system when scientist told me a few months back that Pluto was no longer a planet. Although, in all fairness Pluto -- you will always be #9 for me, cold, unforgiving and the smallest of the planets. You were always the easiest to make in my many planetary diorama's.
Ah, the joys of elementary school - a solar system in a shoe box.

Add it to the list of things that have kept us from reaching our full potential:

• Bike helmets. Never wore one. Must be why I am so slow.
• Small Lego's. Played with them. Probably swallowed one or two.
• Homemade treats at school. Ate them. The entire reason I am 15 lbs overweight to be sure.
• Santa saying Ho Ho Ho. As a woman, I am offended and I am boycotting Christmas.

And now this.... Sesame Street had the "wrong" message all those years ago. Yep. Counting, the alphabet, and some diversity for those of us stuck in middle, white America -- completely screwed us all up.
First Burt and Ernie got split up and now this epiphany.
I might need therapy to convince me that Cookie Monster gobbling cookies was in fact a bad thing.

Next thing you know, revisionist history will be applied to the Smurfs. Can't wait for the fall out from that one.
