Naan? Noodles?

So tell me what mnemonic device do I need to teach Myles to remember the order of the planets in our Solar System. I used to count on myself

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pumpkins


Yeah, I got that from a Miss Pickerell book I read in grade school.
And my other favorite mnemonic is "King Philip Came Over From Germany Soused." I learned that one in 9th grade, and at the time my biology teacher kept telling us to try to come up with other "S" words so he wouldn't get into trouble. Oddly, none of them stuck.

1. Mary's Violet Eyes Make John Stay Up Nights (Paceing) [pacing in parenthesis because the Astonemers just voted pluto not a planet.]

2. What ever does K-P-C-F-G-S stand for? I feel as ignorant as I am!
