My Neighbor’s Laundry Hung Outside My Son’s
Unexpected View
For weeks, my 8-year-old son’s window overlooked our new neighbor Lisa’s laundry.
When he asked if her thongs were slingshots, I realized it was time to intervene.
A Child’s Curiosity
Jake joked, asking if her tiny underwear was “for a pet hamster or for superhero aerodynamics.”
I told him, “She’s just… confident.”
Confrontation
I rang Lisa’s doorbell. “My son’s window faces your line,” I said.
“He thinks your thongs are slingshots.”
She laughed and dismissed me.
Suburban Retaliation
I hung giant flamingo-print granny panties outside her window.
Her scream was glorious: “Take it down!” I replied, “Sure, once you move your line.”
She did, and her laundry vanished.
I repurposed the flamingo fabric into curtains — a cheeky tribute to suburban warfare.
