Welcome to hacker news :).

A part of me still wants to call it a planet, especially since I grew up where Pluto was discovered, in Flagstaff at Lowell observatory.

My parents teach astronomy to kids - and the #1 favourite question is about Pluto and why it's not a planet.

And usually one kid will try and explain at length why it still is :)

Yeah, it's confusing. I grew up being told it was a planet too. And I'd state it as "still not used to the current definition of planet".
