If You're Under 35, I Apologize for This One



So I was snuggling in bed with Molly while we read a little Nancy Drew. Tom walked by and caught sight of my hot pink terry cloth tube-toppish pool cover-up.

Thinking I was channeling another terry cloth era, he said: “Well Hellooooooo Chrissy Snow!” with a big grin on his face.

When I got up a few minutes later and he saw my whole outfit in its caftan-like glory, he said, “Maybe I should have called you Mrs. Roper instead.”



Thanks. Thanks a lot.

That's funny!

Three's Company is one of my all time favorites. :)

Excellent.

Sigh. I miss John Ritter.

My brother used to complain that 3's Company was always based on misunderstandings, and that bothered him. He's kinda right, but what a fun show!

I'm under 35 (by just 20+ days or so--but still it counts) and I'm loving the Three's Company flashbacks. I'm just sad you didn't include a picture of your great outfit :). Husbands so often speak without thinking first don't they? Love your blog by the way. Thanks for visiting mine!

Blessings,
Beth

funny, funny, funny! :)
My husband was not allowed to watch Three's Company when he was growing up.
He would have loved John Ritter.

sounds like typical husband talk.....

Deidra said...

Oh man. Too funny. But I'm still laughing at that perplexing postage stamp!

Debbie said...

I am certainly of the age to appreciate this! And what a slam.

You guys are funny.

I just have to tell you that I am always re-reading Nancy Drew stories. I can't wait to read them to my daughter.

I distinctly remember the last episode I was allowed to watch of Three's Company. I turned from the TV and asked my mom, "Mom, what's a call girl?"

Heidi said...
