It’s how you say it
August 25, 2007
Paraphrase of something I heard on the radio a couple of weeks ago:
“Our houses are closer to the streets to encourage conversation among neighbours”
The ad was for a relatively new builder to my city, Mattamy Homes.
Friends of mine have a Mattamy Home, and their home is perfectly lovely, so I have no problem with the builder, and I guess I could give them credit for putting a positive spin on what may amount to houses being built on smaller pieces of land than other homes.
This may be the example I’ve been searching for! Perhaps I can put a positive spin on my excess pounds too:
“Jummy: heavier so you don’t have to worry about losing her in a hurricane”
Think I’ll sell?
