My wife has an infinity scarf.

My daughter wants her to get another.

I'm not sure that's mathematically possible.

Your daughter isn't being irrational. She wants to go from a countable number of infinity scarves to an uncountable number of infinity scarves.

I don't think we can afford that.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with my pre-school son years ago. Out of nowhere, from the back seat: “Dad, what’s the biggest number?” Me, probably with a satisfied look on my face: “There is no biggest number.” Son: “Okay, I’ll ask someone else.”

Kids are so humbling.

But have you finally figured out what the biggest number is?
