I forgot about how useful this word was: Infinity.
It was big when I was in, I think, middle school, but kids grow up so much more quickly these days and next thing you know, they’re sounding like Carl Sagan.
Fontaine just brought infinity home from school and taught it to Elizabeth. And as many times as we’ve told Fontaine not to pass along annoying stuff, because it’ll only come back to annoy her, you can’t really convey the true wisdom of such advice to a six-year-old.
So tonight at dinner, it was monsters (Fontaine) against princesses (Elizabeth).
Fontaine: I’m a monster and I eat princesses for dinner, especially tender ones like you, I eat them up.
Elizabeth: Well, I’m infinity princesses and we can eat you up.
Fontaine: Well, I’m just one monster, but I can eat infinity princesses.
Elizabeth: No, you can’t.
With that, I learned that “No, you can’t” trumps “infinity,” because that three-word response provided a finite conclusion to the whole thing.
