Please don't post snarky dismissals to HN. They're corrosive of the higher-quality discussion we're hoping for here, especially because they generate replies that end up taking the thread in a less interesting direction.
Maybe, but it's interesting because I had quite a few discussions with my kids about infinity. It came up when playing the "how much do I love you" game. I introduced infinity, and from there I was able to teach them a little about it. They were very young and I am still impressed with how easily they grasped some of the concepts.
Do you think it's possible that they accepted your ideas of infinity in a dogmatic sort of way, similar to how many young children accept god? I remember first having discussions with my father about infinity as young as 6, but I didn't really start exploring infinity for myself until my mid teens. It would be interesting to see how your kids thoughts change as they mature.
