Household names


There are a lot of cute mailboxes in my neighborhood. Snowmen are popular.



You see other seasonal motifs. Chilly birdies!


Even a look forward to spring.


Few people put their name on their mailbox. I don't know why. Oh, wait, here's a name.


What? Someone called The Robb lives here? That's an unusual name.

The Robb is definitely marking his property clearly. Big house for just one guy, but whatever.

If it were actually a whole family of Robbs, that's what the mailbox would say: "The Robbs." No apostrophe when you make a last name into a plural. Or some families might opt for the plural possessive form: "The Robbs'."

That's how you know just The Robb lives here. Maybe he gets together occasionally with The Hulk and The Rock.

If The Edge ever comes over, I'm definitely camping out on the front lawn. Right by the mailbox.
