I love you more than...

In our house we commonly end the night in a loving competition of I love you more than.

Last night, Ethan said, "I love you more than the solar system." Just impressed that he knew the phrase solar system, I said, "I love you more than Pluto."

To which he responsed, "Mom! Pluto isn't even a planet. It is just a star."

"Yes, Ethan, I heard that."

"Do you know what happened?! It got hit by a huge meteor, and now it is just a tiny little blue star."


After a doing a small google search, I can verify that pluto is a blue-gray star, but I haven't found a credible source regarding Pluto being hit by a meteor. Where does he get his information?

  4. Well, he certainly impresses me, never the less, I had to check for myself. It was a planet when I was in school, the ninth planet in the Solar System. In 2006 it was reduced to a "dwarf planet" status, I don't know about the star stuff, but he sure is smart. Mom
