[When the video turns on, there's Riley, and she's holding up what looks to be at least a few sheets of posterboard. On the very front is a drawing of a smiling planet that looks like it's holding a heart.]

Ooookay, so it's come to my attention that there are a lot of people here that don't know about Pluto, the last planet in Earth's solar system. I'm going to change that. First things first! This is what Pluto looks like. We got pictures back recently and it looked like it had a huge heart on it. [And she'd totally called it before the pictures even got recieved too, having always said Pluto had a lot of heart.]

I couldn't get the actual picture so I asked Maya to draw it.

[And she drops that top piece of posterboard, revealing something that looks like a bulleted list???]

The first important thing is that Pluto used to be a planet. Eventually a bunch of scientists decided it was too small to be an actual planet though, so they called it a dwarf planet instead. From the time it was discovered to when it got demoted to a dwarf planet, it didn't even have a chance to go all the way around the sun! Because it's that far away from us! That's pretty unfair, since Pluto never really got a chance.

[She huffs.]

That's why I still call it a planet, though. I'm always gonna believe that it's a planet, even if everything says it can't be. We don't know what it could do or anything about it because it's so far away. I just wanted to make sure that everyone here knew that.

Wait...what? It's not a planet anymore? When did that happen?

[He sounds totally baffled...but also like he's wondering if scientists just decided it wasn't a planet anymore while he wasn't paying attention. He's going to feel so dumb if it happened in his time.]

Oh my god, wow. That's like...

[Hold on, he has to think about it.]

...Like, more than fifteen years from now for me? That's so weird that someone can just, decide something like that and try to make everyone call it a dwarf planet or whatever.

That's still really strange...and it just makes you think about all the stuff people could try and un-discover one day. Like, you could wake up one morning and someone would try to tell you that...that, I-I dunno, the moon isn't a moon or something. And then you look up and it's right there and you're not sure whether they're just dumb or trying to mess with you or what.
