Let me tell you what we do. My sister, her husband, two kids, and I were at an amusement park a few years ago. She and I both had largish ‘fanny pack’ purses on, both mostly empty. My brother in law ragged on us for needing them, when ‘guys just use their pockets’.
First roller coaster, (emptying pockets and handing to wife) “hold these for me, I don’t want them to fall out of my pockets.” (did not take anything back but wallet).
First water ride, (handing wife glasses, wallet (as he did every ride), and some trinket he bought) “hold these, don’t want them wet.”
Kids, of course, handing both of us things to ‘stick in your purse for me, so I don’t have to carry it,’ By the time we were done that day, two women with ‘don’t know why you have such big purses’ that were less than half full, each, had them so jammed full that it was a trial to put anything in them and zip them.
We got home, emptied out of the purses anything not ours and were back to half empty purses, nothing new in either of them that was ours.
Oh, and he still did not know why we had such big purses.
Moral of the story: Before looking into a woman’s overlarge purse, make sure you do not need her to be your pack mule.
