Infinity?

Finding older posts from other earlier blog sites and reposting here. Sorry if you have seen these before.Originally posted December 2002One of the Boyz' favorite movie is Toy Story 2. They can watch it over and over again and get a kick out of it. Well, for those of you who don't know it, there's this character named Buzz Lightyear. Pretty cool guy. Superhero in a space suit. You do know who I'm talking about?One of his standard lines is: "to infinity and beyond!". Good stuff. Easy to imitate and all. Noone cares what he is saying, except Jonny today. "Daddy, what does infinity mean?" My first thought was, wow the grammar of that question was really good! But then looking at him scared me: he wanted an answer. Um, infinity, uh well it's like as far as you can go where noone else has been? Right, real convincing, I know.Well, got through that one. He ran off to attack his brothers with "to infinity and beyond!".He came right back. "Daddy", he asked and I knew trouble was coming. "What about beyond?"I was thinking, who comes up with these phrases for kids shows anyway?!
