Altering Reality

Sunday is football day at the FunnyWriterMommy house. Why, it's almost a sacred day, and when it isn't football season, we're all just a bit lost.

At the FWM house, Football Day often equals "Altering Reality." Inevitably someone is miserable as a result of Football Day, so we work hard to change the rules--real or Fantasy--in order to alter our reality to something a bit happier.

For example, in my altered reality, our Fantasy Football league takes total points into account instead of win-loss record. Look at me in fourth place!

It didn't work for BeauDon today. His new altered reality rule is that only the first quarter of the Lions games counts. That made the Lions nearly undefeated this season. At the very least, they are playoff eligible. Today he added an extra quarter for good measure. Still didn't work. Sorry, BD. It's just another sad Football Day.
