life with a grade schooler: black hole

Yui: Mommy, do you know how the universe began?

Me: The Big Bang?

Yui: That’s right!

Me: so tell me what you’ve read so far in your new books. Have you read yet about the dark hole?

The moment the last two words came out of my mouth, I felt queasy as I know something wasn’t quite right and that I know they weren’t correct.

Yui: Dark hole? Dark hole? It’s the Black hole, right?!?

Haha. And so we had our first bout of laughter for the day. I wouldn’t have had imagined I’d talk about the black hole with my 7 year old; and have her correct me for that matter.
