I recently mentioned my neighbor who doesn’t have anything covering her windows, allowing us lucky neighbors to peer inside. My husband Tate, who leaves for work ridiculously early in the morning when it’s still pitch black outside, has seen our neighbor naked twice.
“You saw her naked again!” I asked, both appalled and oddly intrigued.
“I couldn’t help it,” Tate reasoned. “Her light was on, it was dark outside, how could I not look? And there she was! Completely naked.”
“Welllll…,” Of course I had to pry for details. “Was she hot?”
“It was like looking at a mom, or something. It’s not like she was hot.” Tate said, his disgust apparent until he saw the look of shock on my face.
“Oh! Wait! That’s not what I meant…”
There are some things that just can’t be taken back.
For those of you reading and concerned about Tate’s well being, I’d like to assure you that he is still alive and with all of his parts intact. Barely.
Wow. He survived that. Lucky fellow.
.-= Stephanie´s last blog ..The Putting the Kids to Bed Drinking Game =-.
oh no he didn’t. Guessing – how old do you think she is?
.-= DesignHER Momma´s last blog ..3 down, 1 to go… =-.
Emily, I’ve only seen her once (not thru her bare windows) and I’d guess her to be no older than me, 34. Probably younger. So yeah, Tate is quite lucky to be alive.
A WHAT???
Oh my…he is lucky you have so much patience and restraint.

OMG, lol! That is hilarious though…
.-= Venti Vixen´s last blog ..I Keep Telling Myself… =-.
Wow. I’m speechless.
.-= Amo´s last blog ..Your Daily Deuce =-.
maybe he meant like HIS mom. I’m rationalizing it for you and all of us moms out here. I mean – sheesh. Moms can be hot too, right? *SIGH*
.-= Devan´s last blog ..Christmas shopping =-.
Devan, I do think that’s what he meant, like he was looking at someone “older” and “somehow related, like his mom.” He had to have meant that, right!?!
For the record, though, his mom is pretty hot.
Well, that was good for AT LEAST a punch in the nose or a kick to the groin! Sheesh.
.-= Expat Mom´s last blog ..Conversations with a 3.5 Year Old =-.
oh man. He’s very brave. or stupid. ha! He’s lucky to have such a beautiful, understanding wife!
.-= Jen´s last blog ..five things. =-.
Oy, he is lucky to still be breathing. Talk about open-mouth-insert-foot syndrome! I thought my husband was the only one who does stuff like that!
Uh yeah, don’t you just love that? And then the more they try to dig themselves out, the deeper they get.
.-= C @ Kid Things´s last blog ..In Memory =-.
Wow. Shocking, and yet, oddly, a relief.
No offense…But I want to clobber him!! But, then again, I think my husband would say that same thing.
*sigh*
men.
Ewww… How does someone not know they are flashing the whole neighborhood. Maybe she does know and doesn’t care.
Love the Orange and White! Go Vols!
.-= Tara R.´s last blog ..Fancy-smancy new header =-.
ORANGE!!!!! Jealous that you were at the game.
He’d better do something great to make up for that one…Are you listening Tate? Flowers, candy, JEWELERY! are all good.
.-= Headless Mom´s last blog ..Better late than never… =-.
Wow. I’m happy you still have a living breathing husband! Lucky him.
Love the picture by the way!
Oh too funny!
And the color of your shirts brings back so many memories. I went to middle and high school in Knoxville, and we would get extra credit for wearing orange to school on Fridays before game days. I try to explain the level of insanity surrounding UT football to people here in Seattle, but they don’t get it. Go Vols!

OH NO HE DIDN’T! I can think of one part that should no longer be in tact!
.-= Shannon´s last blog ..Not That It Happened To Me Monday: The School Bus Edition =-.
He should have said “OMG, SO HOT!” because that would have went over a lot better.

Hey Tate, naked dads are disgusting!

So Tate, is it that Jennifer isn’t a mom in your eyes…?
LOL. Poor Tate.
Cute pic.

Man, he sure is lucky to be alive lately eh??
.-= MadWoman´s last blog ..Random Tuesday – Guests, Driving and Gag Reflexes =-.
I’ll have you know that because of you we just put curtains on our two kitchen windows. In over 5 years they have not had blinds or curtains. I routinely walk through that room naked after the shower. The windows face our neighbor’s siding. But I don’t like the new neighbors. So I’m hiding out now.
.-= Leighann of Multi-Minding Mom´s last blog ..T1 Tuesday: The Food Police =-.
see, from Tate’s point of view, OTHER naked women look like Mom’s. YOU, look hot.
(remember this phrasing, Tate, you may need it in future. Teach it to your son.)
I used to tell my mom I didn’t like outfits or haircuts b/c they were “too momish.”
Yep. Now I know why she gave me that look.
.-= Amie aka MammaLoves´s last blog ..Did I Mention I Knit? =-.
I’m still stuck on the fact that your neighbor have ZERO window treatments?!
.-= mep´s last blog ..Culinary Mysteries–MEP’s Cooking Up a New Series =-.

he’s super lucky he has you right there. b/c i would’ve been SO up his ass with this one.

OMG…that is SOOO something my husband would say. I mean, after all, my husband is the one that looked at me as I was getting ready one night before I had the girls and said, “Yeah. If you have any more kids you’re definitely going to need a boob job.” Men and brains don’t mix.
.-= Sarah´s last blog ..100 Days!!! =-.
I would be surprised if you didn’t smack him at least!
WOW – men just don’t think before they speak, do they?!
My husband is a big streaker in our house. I wonder if our neighbors have seen him naked in the wee hours of the morning. Ha! He’s so hairy, they probably just think it’s one of the dogs.
.-= Ashlie- Mommycosm´s last blog ..Perspective =-.
Now, you don’t REALLY think that a man is going to admit to his wife that the naked lady next door looks HOT, do you?
.-= lceel´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday – Sunday Football =-.
Ewwwwww, moms are GROSS!
That totally sounds like something my husband would say. He once told me that a shirt I had on wasn’t very flattering, and that it kind of made me look fat. He’s dead now.
.-= Suzy Voices´s last blog ..All In The Family =-.
Oh wow. At least he knew immediately what he’d done. Still. I think he’s lucky to have his ~erm~ parts.
(Love the new header)

When my husband says things like that or makes a joke as my expense, my standard response is “You’re in trouble.”
He’s a funny guy, so he’s in trouble a lot. To date, there have never been any consequences to being in trouble, but he has mentioned being interested in a pie chart depicting the percentage of time he’s in trouble.
It would probably resemble Pacman, with the mouth area representing “not in trouble.”
I think Tate might be in trouble.
.-= valerie´s last blog ..Foods I Don’t Eat: Nutella edition =-.
Tate, you in trouble ALL OVER THE INTERWEBS.
The Man was not thinking with that answer:P
.-= Nap Warden´s last blog ..Ballerina Girl =-.
wow. and he’s still alive to tell the tale?
lucky man….
.-= the planet of janet´s last blog ..Scenes from a mall =-.
He is one lucky dude to still be intact after that comment!
But now I’m considering coming over there and smacking him around for you…

There’s just not a shovel big enough for a man to dig his way out of that one.

I am amazed that he didn’t choke on that foot in his mouth….lol
.-= Heather-Domestic Extraordinaire´s last blog ..You Capture-Macro Edition =-.
When my son was 8 months old and I was in the depths of PPD, we were in the grocery store. A woman with a small baby bent over to pick something up, showing her back. My husband later said “Ew, did you see those stretch marks?” I burst into tears. Hers were not even close to being as bad as mine!

LOL. I recently had my windows done and the only shade I did not replace was our 1st floor bathroom window facing down the street and about 5 homes on an angle. I measured the window as 23″ wide, but the ruler was upside so I took 32″ to the store and bought an oversized shade. Regardless, the mom’s in the neighborhood can see all my glory if they wish to look. WoW….no need to be upset with anyone. If they’re proud of their body and it’s decent enough to flaunt it, go ahead and stand naked. It’s worth it’s weight in gold to think someone might be talking about you. Reminds me of Desperate Housewives or something. Kinky!
[...] year ago today, Tate admitted that it was like “looking at a mom, or something.” [...]
