One of my favorite shows of all time is Three’s Company.

Never mind the fact that for almost all the decades I’ve been watching it, I thought the theme song went:

“Da da da ron day vooo… da da da ron day vooo… three’s company too!” 🎶

instead of:

“Down in our rendezvous … down in our rendezvous… three’s company too!” 🎶 – and embarrassingly, didn’t figure it out until not very long ago.

The premise of the show was pretty much always the same; perfectly and sarcastically described here by Chandler Bing of Friends:

“Oh, I think this is the episode of Three’s Company where there’s some kind of misunderstanding.”

Phoebe replies: “I’ve already seen it then.” as she turns off the TV.

Usually the misunderstanding was because someone overheard part of a conversation and then jumped to conclusions. Those crazy kids never learned.

Well yesterday I had my very own Three’s Company moment! We can pretend I’m Chrissy, even though – let’s be real, I’m totally Janet. Especially since I had her exact haircut in 3rd grade but with a tail. (I wish I was kidding.)

Here’s the story:

PJ looked up if North Carolina owed us any money for overpayments on our part. Lo and behold, we discovered I was owed $28.08 and PJ, $25.00. Bad Daddy’s take-out here we come! 🙌

I asked PJ to text my Mom the link so she could see if she had any overpayments.

When she replied back to him with an “Ok”, she also sent a voice text clip of my sister in the room complaining about:

“Well something happens and she never forgets it, and she never lets it go!”

I just knew she was talking about me. The worst part was that my Pa was chiming in and agreeing with her! WTF?! I’m his favorite!!

Who else could they be talking about?? I mean, I wasn’t really offended because she was speaking the truth, but she sounded so upset by it. What did I do to offend her so badly!

Most people would just leave it alone and try to forget it. Not me. I immediately called my Mother.

Me: Who’s Tara bitching about?

Lol: Wait, what? Ooh what did I do? How did you know?

(Me, growing more suspicious 🤨)

Me: Because you are dangerous with technology and you accidentally voice recorded her while she was complaining and sent it to PJ.

Lol: Oohhh (laughing)… she’s talking about Delilah…

Delilah is Teara’s dog.

Dadadarondayvooooo… dadarondayvoooo… don’t jump to conclusions too! 🎶
