Islands in the sun...or Atlantic...

Ok. Ok. So I had this discussion with my dad awhile ago and he thoroughly did not get it.
When is an island considered an island?? Because...I mean, if you think about it...everything is an island. If you go far enough in any direction, you will get to water...and eventually, everything is surrounded by water. So I ask you again, when is an island considered an island? Is Australia an island? Or is it too big? Does an island have to be one country or can it be multiple countries? What is the size that one says "Ok, now THIS is an island" or vice versa? I have no answer to these questions! My dad's answer was "Lorraine, stop being ridiculous." Perhaps that is the answer to all of life's tough questions...
