Quark- Isn't that just German cottage cheese?

"I'm just looking up the atomic structure of a quark," says Hugo as I find him in the dining room leaning eagerly over the iPad. He then continues, filling me in on details that will forever elude me, lying on his back, "Mama, a quark makes up a proton or a neutron which make up the nucleus which is surrounded by an electron cloud which makes up the atom. Let's say we have one proton, like the hydrogen atom; that means in the electron cloud that there is only one electron. Inside a proton, there are three quarks- 2 upquarks and 1 downquark."
