Peeping Thomasina...

Though I can lean toward being an exhibitionist at times, I try not to expose any unwilling bystanders, with one exception.

That being said, I know when I don’t want to be seen, even by myself (i.e. in a changing room with fluorescent lighting and three-way mirrors). What I choose to do on a beach in a foreign country or on the big WWW is one thing, what I do in the privacy of my home is another. I am fully aware that if it’s dark outside and the lights are on in my home I should close the blinds. I was not aware that leaving said window accoutrements at half mast during the day would draw attention, especially the attention of a female neighbor.

The window to my master bedroom is adjacent to her spare bedroom. In the seven plus years we have lived here I have never seen the blinds on her side open…Ever. Imagine my surprise when I looked up after exiting the shower last weekend to see a gap between the slats. A very large and noticeable gap, with a face pressed against it.




What would you do? Because my reaction was to do what I normally would when encountering a neighbor. I smiled and waved.
