She carries pieces of her life in a purse. The finely woven, softly textured bag is always on her shoulder. When she needs something, she has it! Where? In her purse!
When she needs to keep track of homework, she jots it down in her assignment book. The assignment book goes into her purse.
There is a bottle of Bath & Body Works eucalyptus mint anti-bacterial hand gel. Have some germs? (Pssst.... look in the purse.)
Her license is in her bag, with her smiling face looking up at you when you see it.
She has her phone there, in a side pocket, to keep in touch!
During geometry class, when she needs to do some quick calculating, she can find a Sharp calculator in one of the inside pockets.
Hand wipes, essential toiletries, sharpies, pens, pencils, loose change, etc. all sit inside, patiently waiting for her to use them.
There are car keys in the dark bottom of the bag, and a flashlight is attatched to her key chain so that you can find those car keys. (This flashlight is in the shape of a quacking duck.)
Yup, it is all there. Everything she needs is in her purse, just waiting.
(Thank you, Miss Katie H., for allowing me to peruse your purse. I love you!)
Oh, the amazing things that one can find in a purse! The expression, "everything but the kitchen sink" can certainly apply. With the current fashion of huge purses, it only encourages us to fill them with all of those things that "I might need". I purposefully carry a small size so that I'm restricted to what I lug around in a given day.
