Cool Phrase To Remember Nine Planets

My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets

M - Mercury, V - Venus, E- Earth, M- Mars, J - Jupiter, S - Saturn, U- Uranus, N - Neptune, P-Pluto

Remember that this was back in the day when people accepted Pluto as a planet and not a dwarf planet alongside Ceres and Eris. Ceres ?? The last time I checked was a brand of ' second to Tropicana' of fruit juice.

Sigh. Digressing. More digressing. Not only does this phrase help you remember the names of the planets, they also help you remember them in the right order.

So AP is being uber-nice to me these days and I've been a little more testy with her than I should be.

When I'm in my ' I feel really guilty cos I'm a meaniehead and should send her a nice goodnight sms' phase, I usually do not have a problem coming up with something substantial to write. However, today I played around with the menu a little. I thought I'd be corni-ier and mush-ier since V-day was around the corner.

You know how you want to tell someone that they are the 'centre of your universe'. I have a theme. Nine Planets. I have a plan. Spam her phone with individual messages, each carrying the name of a planet. I tried hard to remember the phrase my mom taught me. Now was it Educated or Intelligent ? Was there a planet called Iranus ? Dammit. And then I got confused. Was it ' Showed Us Nine Planets' or ' Showed Us The Nine Planets' ? Goddamit. In that case, what planet name starts with a T ? I swear I did not think Titanium even for a split second.

So these are the ten messages I sent AP :

1. I thought the first M stood for Mars so I already messed up the order part. I love you like a bar of Mars. Not bad barring the logical incoherence, poor grammar and no known obsession for Mars.
2. You make me feel like Venus. Ahem
3. I'm glad I found you on this Earth. Not bad huh ?
4. Can love you till Jupiter. Which absolutely makes zilch sense. Poetic justice and what have we ?
5. Your sex appeal sets my Mercury soaring high. Fine. Laugh. Blush. Throw Up. Brace Yourself for the next one.
6. The fights don't matt-urn cos you are like Saturn. What do you do with Saturn ? Grrrr
7. This is the part where I presumed and assumed and miscalculated that the moon was a part of this list. Sigh. You make me go over the moon, the way you make me swoon. Ahem.
8. Now's where I'm lost. What rhymes with Uranus ? Panic Mode. Then I get creepy and perverted which seem to be defining personality traits offlate. I like your front and ... I did not type that. No. No. Yes I did. Gulp.
9. You totally get my melody like nep tune, tune together perfectly. I actually thought that was kinda sorta cool though I have no damn clue what a nep tune is ?
10. No matter how far away you are, you will not stop being important like poor Pluto. Awwww

Next time I'll just say ' Sleep tight'
