Short or shirt

Today I had to face my accent problem one more time :( My daughter forgot her uniform shorts in a friend's house yesterday. She left the house using her leggings and nobody noticed she was missing her shorts. It would not be a big deal if she had many uniforms, but the other shorts she has are in a bigger size. So this morning, when we were running to go to school I asked her where the shorts were and she told me she had forgotten them. I had to improvise and she had to wear a large one.
After leaving my daughter at school I called her friend's mom to ask for the shorts... Hi, this is Renata. Thank you for having my daughter for a playdate yesterday. She loved it!!! I was wondering if you have found her uniform's shorts in your house??? And she asked me: Shirt??? 
No, shorts!!!
Shirt???
No, shorts, like for the legs!!!
Oh, legging!!!
No, shorts!!!!
Shirt???
No, shorts!!!
Ah, shorts...
Yes, shorts.
Oh my gosh!!!! she couldn't understand my shorts... Speaking English is a challenge even when I think it would be easy.
