Would You Want to Know?
I just got an email from a friend of mine who lives in Denver. His wife had a baby girl last night and the email was the quick tired dad email from the hospital. He attached a few pictures for our enjoyment.
Sadly his exhaustion prevented him from looking closely at the pictures he was taking and emailing, because in one of them, the foreground of the picture is the baby, but very clearly in the background his his wife, legs up in the stirrups, bush bared to all the world, while the doctor (ahem) attends to her injuries. I showed Jake the picture and his first response was “Well, at least we know she’s a natural redhead.”
The really sad part of this is that they are both such proper people and I know they are going to be mortified when they get home and upload all the five billion pictures they will undoubtedly snap before leaving the hospital and see what went out to all of their friends and possibly co-workers. I feel like I should mention something so he doesn’t continue to send that picture out, or at least crops it, but who wants to be the bearer of that news? Whatcha think? Should I tell him?

Yes. You should definitely tell him!
Cute new design! Yes, tell him.
Good God, I would be mortified to find that out after the fact. Yes, tell him!
Yep, tell him. Don’t tell her and maybe she’ll never find out.
How’s your shoulder?
How mortifying! I suppose I agree that he should be told…but I’d maybe start by asking what sort of reaction they’d gotten from the pics to see if anyone else had that incredibly tough conversation before you.
Oh my gosh, how awful for her! You should tell him. After all, you would want someone to tell Jake.
oh geez. what a HAIRY dilemma.
bwahahaha.
OH MY GOD - i would be totally mortified! Tell him!!
Oooh, that’s a tough one. I would so kill my husband if he did something like that! I vote tell him. Hopefully they’ll laugh about it later.
Oh my word…NIGHTMARE! I would be mortified and pissed if nobody told my husband. Do it! Although your husbands comment was extremely funny. Wouldn’t you rather find that out a less graphic way? I feel so bad for your friend.
Tell him. Right after Mia was born, I posted a picture of my beautiful newborn and my very obvious stark naked hooters and it was up for two weeks because nobody told me.
But, maybe say you are just sure that nobody else would even notice, you only spotted it because you dropped something and as you were bending close to the computer to pick it up you caught a weird angle and lo and behold, etc.
