Sangwoo sat in the library, with Mariko sitting on his knee. Mariko didn't have school today, and the school didn't much to keep him entertained for long; so he sat on his daddy's knee, sounding out the big bolded words in the textbook.

"Discri-mina-ting." Mariko slowly sounded out, receiving a pat on the head from Sangwoo. "Very good Mariko. That's another big word." Mariko smiled up at Sangwoo. "What does that word mean?" "It means perceptive and judicious; making judgments about quality." Sangwoo replied. Mariko nodded thoughtfully. "Cool!" "Can you say this one?" Sangwoo asked, pointing to another bolded word on the next page.

"H-Hy-poth-e-sis." Mariko sounded out, stuttering a little in the process. "Very good! That's a tough one." Sangwoo smiled, kissing the top of Marino's head, making him giggle. "What does that word mean daddy?" "It means a tentative explanation for a phenomenon, used as a basis for further investigation." Sangwoo replied. "Cool!" Mariko giggled. "What about this one?" Sangwoo asked, pointing to another bolded word. "Ac-id disso-cia-tion con-stant." Mariko sounded out carefully, studying the word. "What does that one mean daddy?" "An Acid dissociation constant is known as acidity constant, or acid-ionization constant, which is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid insolution. It is the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction known asdissociation in the context of acid–base reactions." Sangwoo replied. Mariko giggled again. "Daddy's so smart!" Sangwoo snickered, patting Mariko's head. "You like helping me study huh?" Mariko nodded, hugging Sangwoo tight; receiving a hug from his daddy back. "Thanks kiddo."
