How About a Flying Pig Theme

Dorothea always had a theme going On the inside and the outside of her house This quarter her theme was Candyland She had spent gobs of money on it We knew because we could hear the argument Her husband was getting irritated, and his voice raised We are the only people with a full-time builder! That cannot be true, she argued, but I think it was. My cousin was the full-time builder He had made his living working exclusively for Dorthea Better get another theme idea ready I told him on the phone. We have not done flying pigs yet, he replied, and laughed. I did not return the laughter Because I am trying to sell my house Living next to Candyland is difficult Living next to flying pigs might be worse.
