What’s Saturn Have That Jupiter Ain’t Got?

Scene: After spending some time looking at various animals on the laptop, my almost-three daughter agrees that we should look at space images.

Me: “What’s that?”

Her: “That’s Saturn and the rings and they go around and around.”

Me: (showing photo of Jupiter) “That’s Jupiter. Jupiter has a big spot.”

Her: “I don’t like Jupiter.”

Me: “OK, here is Mars. We landed a robot on Mars.”

Her: “I don’t like Mars.”

This goes on through all the other planets until I review:

Me/Her: Mercury?
I don’t like Mercury.
Venus?
I don’t like Venus.
Earth? How could you not like Earth?
I don’t like Earth.
Saturn?
I don’t– Hey, I like Saturn.
