Love: Finite and Infinite

In putting the boys to bed, we make a game out of describing how much we love each other. The other night, Zeb waxed particularly poetic.
Zeb: Mama, I love you as much as every dinosaur bone that ever existed and all the people that have ever lived, and evey leaf on every tree-
Jesse: Mama, me love you THIS (hands apart approximately 8 inches) much.
Zeb: ...and every star and every planet, even the ones that have never been discovered yet...
Jesse: ... me love you (hands apart, carefully measuring) THIS much....
Zeb:...and all the sharks that are in the ocean and all the sharks teeth at the bottom of the ocean that fell out of the shark's mouth...
Jesse: Mama. Me love you (again carefully measured) THIS much.
