こちらトーランス市のリクリエーション・センター。年に数回、市が市内の全ミドルスクールの学生のために、ダンス・パーティーを開催してくれる。この金曜日がその日。息子も１週間前から楽しみにしたのだけど、当日になり、サイエンスの宿題に提出し忘れがあるうえ、翌日土曜の日本語学校の宿題もテスト勉強も終わっていないことが判明し、あわや外出不可令が出そうだったけれど、パーティー開始寸前に父上さまより辛うじて許可がおり、7:30に友達と会場に向かう。会場前は長蛇の列。15ドルの入場料で9:30まで。楽しいのだろうねえ。This is the recreation center of city of Torrance. Every couple months, the city throws a dance party for students in the middle schools throughout the city. This Friday they had it. My son has been looking forward to it for a week, but it turned out on this day that he has a missing science assignment and also is not done with the Japanese School assignment for the next day. He was almost banned from the party by his dad. He barely got the permission to go at the dad's mercy 30 minutes before the party started, I dropped him and his friend at the venue. There was already a long waiting line to get in. $15 admission. Big excitement...
