Maybe you moms out there will understand! Being that I work with kids, I find the RANDOMEST stuff in my purse! This morning, as I was paying for my coffee, I found 2 SEASHELLS in there!! LOL WTH?! Some other things I found:

Toy cars
Binkies (pacifiers)
Cheerios
Floss (????? This one totally confused me)
Treasures (beads, confetti etc)
Refrigerator Magnet

I know there's been other stuff...just can't think of it off the top of my head.

    In first year uni, a guy in one of my tutorials said I reminded him of Mary Poppins, because he noticed that I seemed to be able to pull just about anything out of my purse. So, driven by curiosity, he asked if I'd mind dumping the contents. I can't recall exactly what I had, but some of my contents included:

    - wallet, keys
    - pen, calculator, notebook
    - discman, a couple of cds
    - the book I was reading at the time
    - lighter, rolling papers
    - bottle of water
    - sports section of the newspaper
    - glasses
    - advil, maxi pads, kleenex
    - lip gloss/chap stick
    - gum
    - bar coasters
    - a can of tomato soup

    It was my survival kit.
    No time to be void or save up on life. You got to spend it all.

    Just the bare necessities, right??!! :D


    P.S. A can of tomato soup?? Why no fish crackers? :confused:

    I think there should be a study done comparing the contents of an average woman's purse to the content of an average shark's stomach. I'd bet they are eerily similar.

    My wife keeps receipts forever in her purse. I'm pretty sure she has receipts for the Starbucks she bought during Christmas '06.

    Is my wife one of the very few women who wouldn't be caught dead carrying a purse? She's a wild Wyoming horse-whisperer and the only thing I can imagine her using a purse for would be to put a brick in and then hit someone with it.

    That's awesome!! :) Good for your wife!! I would love to get along without having to drag a purse everywhere I went!

    And, I totally had an image of the brick-filled purse being used as a defense mechanism...BADASS!

    Yeah, you might have to reinforce the straps a little but it would make a lethal weapon. Actually, my wife would probably just leap on her horse bare-back style and run a mo-fo over a few times if she was pissed.

    Haha! I can relate. I was at a bar last weekend, and went to settle the bill when a plastic pickle fell out of my purse. Let me tell you, the jokes were flying.

    I don't have kids, but I teach preschool so random stuff ends up in my purse from time to time. :)

    I also once went out to dinner straight from work, and thought my butt must be looking particularly good that day, due to all of the people seeming to notice it. Went to the bathroom only to see a bright pink paint hand print squarely on the right cheek of my pants. It might have been a nice gesture for one of my friends to let me know!

    OH yeah!! That's right! I remember you taught preschool! Let me just tell you, when I'm going out straight from work, I keep a pair of extra clothes in my car...never know when I going to end up with paint, formula, spit up, markers etc on my clothes!
