While doing is multiplication homework the other day Lex’s mind wandered to the concept of infinity. The idea that three times infinity is a smaller number than four times infinity. I guess he and Alan had been talking about it recently.

After talking about infinity a bit and pondering the size of infinity he said, “I like to think about mind-bending math. The stuff you literally can’t wrap your brain around. It kind of makes your brain hurt. I love that!”

The whole situation reminded me of a comment his teacher had made that he takes too long to do his math work in school. I suspect his mind is wandering to more interesting stuff and he looses track of the time. I certainly see it often at home!
