Pluto is a planet. Pluto *is* a planet.
Just like the definition for "family", the definition of planet shouldn't be strict either.
Pluto used to be a member of the planet family, and we believe it's a crime to excommunicate a planet.
Along with planets, gas giants, dwarf planets, I suggest we bring Pluto back as an "adopted planet."
Ask any kid, they'll know the truth :)
