Dear Winifred; Nov. 15

Advice (NOT good!) column

  "Dear Winifred, I'm a divorced mother of 3, including my oldest, who just turned 15.  The woman who lives across the street from us walks around the house at night with the blinds open and not a stitch on.  My 15 year old son often can be found at his bedroom window and gazing across at "Hottiekins" house.  I feel this is wrong, and drives my son to distraction.  Plus, my two younger boys will soon become curious.  When I've asked the neighbor lady politely to cease and desist, all I get is a view of her back as she quickly walks away, or hear a click as she hangs up when I call her.  I'd like your advice as to how to handle the situation.  Please, for me AND my sons.  Signed A Concerned Parent."

     "Dear Concerned Parent, "Hottiekins"?  Look, with a mother who'd call anyone that name, I feel nothing but pity for your sons.  I know you say the 2 youngest haven't noticed yet, but believe me, they have; oh yes, they have!  Not only are you trying to deny your oldest the best free show in town, you're trying to prevent your 2 youngest.  It sounds to me like you're the most jealous, repressed, and uptight mother, maybe ever.  "Hottiekins"?; I mean, who talks like that?  You'd better stop worrying about Junior and the little Juniors, they're doing fine, and start worrying about yourself; 'Hottiekins'?"

"Hottiekins" is a bit sickening...she's right...

Yeah, it's the most pathetic name I could think of!
