Stepford Mailboxes?
My husband and I had just closed on our first home in a nice, suburban neighborhood where all the houses are built by the same contractor.
Nice house, great neighborhood. However, non-conformist that I am, I couldn’t stand the idea that everything about our home would match every neighbor’s.
I thought long and hard to find a way to distinguish our little home on a limited budget. Looking down the street I noticed the rows of identical residential mailboxes - an unbroken line of identical silver tubes.
An idea was born.
The next morning I noticed my husband grinning as he backed out the card and first spotted our mailbox. It was now a red, yellow and blue Clown’s head, with a big, red, cheerful mouth for the mail.
