On Pluto and Planets

The 11 y.o: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune…Pluto. Oh, but Pluto isn’t really a planet anymore.
The 4 y.o: But it looks like a planet. It’s round. And it’s got rocks.
The 11 y.o: It’s a dwarf star. Not a planet.
The 8 y.o: It IS a planet because it orbits the earth.
The 11 y.o: No, it’s not. Pluto *used* to be a planet. It was an outcast. So we just kicked it out of the solar system.
