娘から突然電話が！
明日のHomecoming partyに着ていくドレスが届かないと。
娘が予めアメリカのサイトで選んだドレスを、2週間前に私がクレジットカード支払で注文したのでした。
改めてサイトにアクセスし、注文を確認すると”Pending”(保留中)と。
ヤバイ！
何か問題があったのに、チェックしてなかったのが問題？！
それから、急いでチャットで状況を確認したが、時遅し・・・
（以下、やりとりのチャットです）

娘に上のチャットを転送すると、
「ありえない！」
「はじめてのドレスパーティーなのに」
・・・・・
パーティーは明日の18時からということなので（色々とやりとりをしているうちに、アメリは夜中の1時を回っていました）、明日の朝でもお店に買いに行ったらと勧めました。
いざ、どうなることやら。
これもいい修行ということで。
（私の確認ミスが大きな一因だったのかもしれませんが・・・）
追伸：
これが娘が着る予定のドレスだったのですが。
