It's okay, because it's in mirror writing (except for where it isn't)

This rebellious listing was found by Brian. Don't look too closely at the writing. Tsk tsk tsk.
Good flowers.

Flowers! Get down from there immediately!
Oh, you just have too much energy. Fine. Fetch my hat, please. Hat! Fetch the hat! Good flowers.
All right! Here we go!
Walkies!

(I'm running out of New Zealand references)

Yes. This is from a listing. A listing found by Jayce. You are supposed to look at this photo and think "I want to buy this house! This is where I would like to raise my children!" And why not?
So soothing

What an excellent idea. The owners of this house replaced the windows with wave machines like these:
Ahhhhh.... I feel so calm.
(I do think replacing the bed with a Newton's Cradle was a bad idea, though.)

Don't invite Lentil

"Honey, I'm home! What's for dinner?"
"Lemons."
"Lemon chicken?"
"No. Lemons."
"Greek Lemon Soup?"
"No. Lemons."
"Salmon with lemon garnish?"
"No. Lemons. Just lemons. It's a cry for help. Grab some forks, will you?"
Ahhh, it's brilliant

I'm sure there are good reasons to include a photo of Father Dougal in your listing, as found by Edmund. True, I can't think what the reasons might be... but I'm starting to get the impression they do things a little differently in New Zealand. For example, it appears that they insulate houses with "button cods," which I believe is babytalk for what Americans, in our trademark-infringing way, call Q-Tips. That's what the listing says, anyway. I am so confused. Just like Dougal.
