him: right now, on the discovery channel: super-massive black holes.
him: isn’t that an oxymoron? super-massive?
me: no, black holes have a lot of mass. they have so much mass they collapse and start sucking more mass in. they just don’t have a lot of volume.
him: oh, right. ok.
kid: i smell like poop.
Gotta love the non-sequitor interrupting one of those rare “you are right” moments.
oh, they’re not rare at all
That’s just too funny.
did you tell the kid “yes, you do smell like poop”…..I’ve found that always helps.
makes a kid just giddy when you say that to him. in this case, it was just kind of an astrophysical conversation-stopper. cute though.
