My 8 year old daughter has taken to carrying a purse whenever we go anywhere. What, you ask, is essential to an 8 year old girl?
Now, when I first wondered what Josie might be carrying in her purse and picked it up, it was quite heavy. I couldn't think of WHAT she had in there. So I started taking everything out, one item at a time. This is what I found:
 |
| First, her purse. It's cute, right? |
|
 |
| Next, her wallet. It's a felt, monkey wallet. Again, cute. |
 |
| An empty container of gum. The gum didn't even belong to her. It was her older brother's. |
 |
| And...the gum wrappers. That lead me to believe maybe she "borrowed" some of Jayce's gum? |
 |
| A My Little Pony McDonald's toy, one old, purple barrette and some random piece of a toy. |
 |
| And...one boulder. |
|
Now I know why it was so heavy. I don't even
want to think about why she felt the need to bring this with her everywhere.
I guess us ladies all have something in our hand-bags that others would think is weird.
I dug through my purse and found a hole puncher. Yup.
Hey, a lady has to be prepared for anything, right?
I carry a rock in mine too ;) Actually I can't think of anything weird in my purse but I do have way more candy then one person would need in there.
ReplyDeleteI carry a laptop backpack as a purse. Easier with crutches, but even before the crutches, I was carrying it.
ReplyDeleteI won't even tell you what's in there, we'd be here all day.
But I am ready for just about anything except a contraceptive emergency.
