Heard around the house

My oldest son was playing Zeus (7 years old). "A., does everyone have to have a job?" whined N.
A. replied, "Yes, everyone has to have a job so they can be happy."

I love the historically based simulation games from Sierra/Impression Games. Right now my oldest son is trying to figure out the distribution line so he can feed his town. The kids also had the discussion on how if you raise taxes too high, everyone packs their bags and leaves town. I think every politician should have to play these games.
We have Zeus/Poseidon, Caesar, Emperor, and Pharaoh/Cleopatra. We've even managed to get grandma to play Pharaoh.
