My middle schooler has been eyeing this canvas at Hobby Lobby for months. Finally, she was able to purchase it and immediately took it to her room. The next day I noticed it was hanging above her National Geographic Moon poster, but in the corner she had added something.
She had added Pluto and put the quote from Disney’s Lilo and Stitch: “Ohana means family; family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” This sentiment is shared by many of her peers, which was demoted from planet status merely a year or two after they where born.
I believe their loyalty lies with Pluto for a few different reasons. When they first entered school they were taught of Pluto but shortly within their elementary career, it was explained that Pluto was no longer a planet. They see it as an unfair slight to the underdog, which they could relate with because they were among the youngest at school. For them, looking out for Pluto is like looking out for one of their own. The planet is now family and will not be forgotten.
Pluto was discovered by astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh with help from William H. Pickering in 1930 at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. Then in August 2006 astronomers voted to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet in our Solar System.
