Dear Mike & Liza,

My hus­band recently won a prize in a con­test, a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg wear­ing a fish­net stocking.  To make mat­ters worse, he has cho­sen to dis­play it in our front win­dow.  I’m shocked and embar­rassed, I think it’s gaudy and totally inap­pro­pri­ate.  Our son Ral­phie keeps star­ing at the soft glow of elec­tric sex gleam­ing in the window.

I’m tempted to acci­den­tally break it while water­ing a plant.  What do you think?

Mrs. Parker  Hohman, Indiana
