We get asked all the time where we live. We explain it's right across the street from "the bubble" and next to "the house that decorates for every holiday." But people can't place it until they ask,
"Wait. Are you the Ditto house?"
"Wait. Are you the Ditto house?"
Yep. That's us.
The funny thing about it is, our neighbors - the ones who decorate for every holiday (EVERY holiday) - are the ones who bought the sign and hang it for every holiday. And it's sign #2. The first one got ripped to shreds after the windstorm last year.
We've watched dozens of cars slow down, point, laugh, tap on the person sitting next to them to look, and U-turn to get a picture or a second look. It's quite entertaining for us. But this was a first. Getting tagged in some random stranger's Facebook post and watching complete strangers post about how much our house makes them giggle.
Stranger #1: "Best decorations in (insert our city)!"
Stranger #2: "I just saw that too & thought it was hilarious!"
Stranger #3: "Ha! That's awesome!"
Me: "Hey that's my house!"
Stranger #4: Jenny - I made my husband U-turn TWICE!!!! with fighting kids in the car, late to a party just to see this again! Thank you for making my entire holiday season, I laughed the whole way to (insert neighboring city's name). Plus you can probably leave it up all year."
Jeff: "We do. It will be up for valentines, July 4th, Halloween."
Stranger #5: I saw it first on Halloween and had the same reaction! It's great!"
Stranger #6: "That's awesome!"
So yeah. We're the ditto house.
