I am sad to report that the Kathryn Tamblyn prom legacy reared its ugly head when the time came for Bay and Daphne to attend the Carlton School for the Deaf formal dance. Unlike me, the girls were not jilted by their boyfriends at the eleventh hour and left to settle for a date of their mother’s choosing (although Daphne had a near miss in that regard). Their prom drama happened afterward, and I’m still not clear on the details. All I know for sure is that Bay and Emmett had a huge fight at the dance, and Daphne learned something about her date that was game-changing to their relationship.

            I had some drama of my own that night. Due to circumstances beyond my control I was not there to gush over how lovely they looked, or to pose them for those ceremonial pinning-on-the-boutonniere photographs, or to wave them off as they pulled out of the driveway. I did manage to catch up to them at the dance, and I can promise you both of them looked stunning.

            But before any of that happened came the question of what they would wear. The minute the date of the prom was announced, I wanted to throw the girls in the car and take them straight downtown to hit every department store and boutique in search of the perfect prom dress. Instead, Regina suggested we at least narrow the playing field by going online, searching the season’s best designs and determining which style each girl had in mind. So we gathered in the guesthouse, fired up Daphne’s laptop, and began surfing the sites that featured the hottest prom fashions. Daphne was all about feminine elegance; Bay wanted something chic and edgy.

            I accepted the cup of coffee Regina had just brewed for me and began to giggle.

            “What?” Daphne asked.
