Net Curtains

"My, My. That opaque glass is not opaque." I thought yesterday as I was drawing the curtains.
The neighbours' son is home from Uni. He has a rather toned and muscled body, not displeasing to the eye. Since the neighbours took the curtains down in their bathroom I saw a lot more of their son's body than either he or I ever expected. I am a married woman, so of course averted my eyes.

Today alas I had a rather less pleasing view. The mother from across the road was getting ready. Lets just say that she has less muscle tone than her son (think German sauna and you'll understand what I mean).

Now my dilemma is:
  1. Do I tell them and risk embarrassment for them and myself?
  2. Not tell them and face the possibility of seeing the pater familias in the nude (one business lunch too many)?
  3. Wait till term at Uni starts again and then try to drop it casually into conversation that their bathroom window is see through?
  4. Get net curtains?

Oh my, that's difficult. I don't know what kind of relationship you have with the neighbours, but I think that this would be important information to them. It would be more embarrassing to them than to you, I think.
Good luck!
