I'm still crossing my T's and dotting my I's on...Dying To Live, Part 2.
In the meantime, please take a minute for this short, funny post...Thanks!
When I was a kid in school, many moons ago (haha), we had to come up with our own "mnemonic" to help us remember the names and order of the nine planets. This was mine, which got a chuckle or two out of the teacher and students:
"Many Vampires Eat Marmalade Jelly Sitting Upright, Not Prone"
Many "M" for Mercury
Vampires "V" for Venus
Eat "E" for Earth
Marmalade "M" for Mars
Jelly "J" for Jupiter
Sitting "S" for Saturn
Upright "U" for Uranus
Not "N" for Neptune
Prone "P" for Pluto
Now that Pluto has been dropped as a planet, a suitable mnemonic for today's kids to use may read as:
"Many Vampires Eat Marmalade Jelly Sitting Upright?.........NOT!"
