Mamma's Shining Star

As maybe a follow-on to the whole Pluto discussion (even though we had this discussion before I'd found out he'd been talking to Mommy about Pluto) , the Boy was asking some questions in the backseat the other day.

Boy: How many people are there in the world?

Me: Hmm. Seven billion? Eight billion? Something like that I think.

Boy: I think there are 10 billion.

Me: You do.

Boy: Yes. Do you know how many stars there are in the universe?

Me: Wow. I don't know. A lot.

Boy: There's 10 billion stars. So there's one for every person in the world.
