There are infinitely many real numbers between 0 and 1. Are there twice as many between 0 and 2, or are the two amounts equal?

I know the actual technical answer. I’m looking for a witty parallel that has a low chance of triggering an infinite “why?” procedure in a child.

Infinity isn’t a number, it’s the condition of being boundless. So don’t think of the quantity of real numbers, instead consider that they are boundless in the same way.
