Nudist Neighbor Needs a Note

Ask Ant takes a peek at how to handle a neighbor who unsuspectingly shows it all.

DEAR ANT: My next-door neighbor walks around her house in the nude. I know because I have seen her. She has curtains on her windows, but when the lights are on at night, you can see EVERYTHING. The other night I heard my 10-year-old son and some of his friends giggling and found them spying on her with a pair of binoculars. I’m sure she does not know she can be seen through her curtains. I know we’re not the only ones who have seen her either. Neighbors are talking. I think I should tell her, but I don’t know her very well. How do I do it without embarrassing her and me? NEXT-DOOR TO A NUDIST

DEAR NEXT-DOOR TO A NUDIST: Even though you “barely” know her, you need to tell your neighbor what’s going on A.S.A.P. If ever there was an argument for an anonymous letter, this is it. Send her one and explain the situation. Her curtains are not providing her with adequate privacy. If your neighbor does not install some sort of window shades or blinds and continues to parade around in the buffo, well…she enjoys putting on a show and there's nothing you can do about it short of telling your son it's not polite to stare. Good luck. ANT
