Master Munchkin turned eight last week. Now that he's older, I've detected a slight change in his line of questions.
Master Munchkin: If you dropped a baseball into a bucket of acid or hot lava and 1 quark went away every year, would it take over a gogool years for it to dissolve?Sigh. I remember the days with questions about the color of the sky and whether or not the car next to us was speeding. Those, I could answer. Most of the time.
Me: Um...(stalling) What do you think?
Master Munchkin: I don't know. I was asking Dad if there are over a Gogool Plex of quarks in the whole universe and he said, "No." But, if the universe goes on forever, then I think there are.
Me: What's a quark?
Heaven help me.

My answer would be...what material comprises the bucket? And if he says he doesn't know, they tell him his question is irrelevant.
So much better than I dunno and you still look like you're smarter.
Great idea April. Must remember that one!
