homecoming queen or drama queen

So the latest drama in daughters life is what dress to wear in the Homecoming parade to the football field where the attendants will be introduced. She has a perfectly new dress that i bought her to wear for her class pictures. "When I ptl it on and pull up the skirt of the dress I look like a tramp.....when I pull it down I look like a grandma!"
Between cheer leading practices, her job, school, my 12 hour shifts, house showings, nail appointments for the dance etc...there's no time for us to shop for a dress..........so after work tonight on my way home I stopped on a whim at a Fashion Bug that I drive right by on my ride home. I was hoping against hope that I'd find something she'd like...............not to mention it would have to fit just right and she wouldn't be there to try it on.......the store closed at 8........I entered at 8 minutes till........ran to the dresses......found 2 right away that I thought would be perfect......took them to the register......a cute young blond well dressed was working........I held both dresses up and said "Homecoming attendant.......which dress!?" She agreed with what was my first choice. I bought it......took it home.....told daughter to undress and put on your black heels then close your eyes.....Don't look at the dress or you will prejudge it." So she did as I said....I slipped the dress over her head........and it was perfect. Problem solved! I felt great.......daughter was relieved.
I'll make signs for the car this Wednesday........................and pick up a birthday present for her best friend for Friday morning. Two other stressers taken care off of her plate..........now maybe she'll relax and enjoy what should be a very exciting time.
