Yup. Weird is a good word. Of course, things were pretty weird in our house before the Lord introduced us to entrepreneurialism. After all, this is the house where we dance and sing along to Frank Sinatra, but have never even seen American Idol; where we quote obscure movie lines with great regularity (Monty Python and the Holy Grail listed among our favorites); where Dawn and I will come home after a date to find that the kids have filmed their own movie, complete with costumes, sets and hilarious ad-libbed lines providing more quoting fodder. So, as I said, not a normal house to begin with.
The foray into entrepreneurialism has just added new dynamics to our deviation from the norms. For instance, the past two weeks have seen our kitchen table taken up with a marathon Monopoly game. Not an unusual thing to see before, but now we’ve discovered that entrepreneurs make bigger deals and thus require larger sums, so we’ve added the pieces and cash from our Cashflow game. The other day, I walked by the game to hear some unusual discussion. When I inquired as to what was going on, I was informed that the players got tired of just doing houses and hotels, so they’ve made up rules to include eBay. Play imitates life!
God forbid we should ever desire to return to “normal”!

You forgot to mention that they also are working on ways to combine both Cashflow and Monopoly into one game. Nothing remains stagnant around here for long….except perhaps the laundry that is calling my name.

Aye, and don’t you love it?!
How could you possibly go back to a state of ‘normalcy’ now?
