There's no such thing as infinity plus one

Last night Justin was bugging me, saying I secretly wanted to watch Spike TV’s ‘Robocop’ movie marathon (a ruse he employs to reveal his own true desires – e.g., “You want a cookie, don’t you? Yes, you do…”).

No, I don’t, I replied. Do too, he said. Do not, I said. Do too plus one, he said. Do not plus infinity, I said. Do too plus infinity plus one, he said. Which then led to the classic quandry: can you add anything to infinity? The person who does it always says yes.

Until we must teach by example, we'll wrestle in the house, not finish our crusts, call a jigger a jigger, laugh when he farts and eat cheez whiz on white bread. Free license until he's old enough to say  but.. but.. but.. YOU do it!
