The Great Pluto Debate

 Not sure how this debate came up, but one student was adamant about Pluto still being a part of the 9 planets of the solar system.  I apologize in advance if any of my information is wrong.

Me: Pluto is no longer a considered an official planet.
Student A: What?? Pluto IS still a planet.
Me: Last I heard, it was not considered a planet of our solar system, it's now just considered a dwarf star.  I could be wrong, but that is the latest information I've heard.
Student A: Look! I heard it on GVTV (our school's daily news program)!  Pluto is still a planet in our solar system!
Me: I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about this then, but I strongly feel that it's considered a dwarf planet.
Student A: We need to ask someone!
Student B: Yeah we need to ask someone!
Me: Who would we call about this?
Student A: NASA!
Student B: But don't have NASA's phone number!
Student A: What is NASA's number???

Maybe you had to be there, but Student A is working on trying not to get worked up about minor issues, like Pluto being an official planet or not.  He was not so successful today :-(

The Secret Ingredient

While discussing our plans for the weekend...

Me: What are you plans for the weekend?
Student: The new Sponge Bob Movie comes out tomorrow!
Me: Oh yeah! Who are you going to watch it with?
Student: My mom and brother!
Me: So, what is this storyline about?
Student: Well, Sponge Bob is in search of the secret ingredient of crabby patties.
Me: Squidword won't give it to him?
Student: No, he won't.
Me: What do you think the secret ingredient is?
Student: I think the secret ingredient of crabby patties is love.

Oh my gosh.  HEART. MELTED.
