Normal is as normal does. At least that's what Forest would say.

Normal is as normal does. At least that's what Forest would say.
Normal is me. I am normal.
Normalcy should be gauged by using me as the benchmark.
-- Tom
Normal is relative to the surroundings at any one time or place. Since time flows, normalcy flows as well. What was considered normal is now abnormal. What was abnormal is now normal.
The moral...just wait a while and the pendulum will swing back...
This should clear things right up ...

Maybe we should just go with Tom's idea?
