The Neighbors

We live on a little private lake.   I haven't met the people who live across the lake from us.  

Supposedly, there is a pastor living in one of the houses across from us.  There are also a couple of teenage boys who hang out in a row boat on the lake rolling something with their fingers, and then smoking.  Since they smoke pot, they must be the pastor's sons. . . come on . . . you know I'm right!

In the house directly across the lake from ours, live another family.  Our bedroom is on the lake side of the house.  When we first moved in it took a while for me to find the right curtains. It shouldn't have been an issue because our windows face the lake.  One night when things got a little heated in our bedroom, we were startled by a bright light shining through the window. When we looked for the source, we found it was coming from a car which happened to be parked in the driveway across the lake.  We giggled at the coincidence of the timing of the car's lights coming on.

The next time things got frisky, again the light beamed into our bedroom.  There was no way to block it out, as we still didn't have curtains.  This time our eyebrows raised as we looked at each other with the question . . . could this be something other than a coincidence? And then we shrugged it off with a, "naaaahhhh" followed by hysterical laughter as we thought about why anyone would be interested in us.

Well, after the same scenario happened with the light at least 287 times, we started feeling creepy about the perv across the lake.  One time when I was trying on dresses for an event, again with the light.  Now, we know our pet perv also likes pretty dresses.  That's where we drew the line.  We decided it was time for curtains.  

So, we have to ask ourselves how does he know when is the right time to turn on the lights?  Is he looking across the lake through the windows with binoculars?  How can he see when it's dark?  Does he have some sort of infrared binoculars?  A dress loving perv with spy gear????

Every now and then when things heat up in the bedroom, and we least suspect it . . . BOOM, we're in the spotlight again!  But . . . we have our secret weapon for the dress-loving, spy gear perv . . .  it's the highly technical spy gear deterrent known as . . . curtains!!!
