Comments on: entertain me http://fridayplaydate.com/entertain-me/ entirely true, but exaggerated for comic effect Sat, 11 Oct 2008 15:20:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Marmite Breath http://fridayplaydate.com/entertain-me/#comment-5837 Marmite Breath Fri, 03 Nov 2006 04:42:00 +0000 http://fridayplaydate.com/entertain-me/#comment-5837 The weirdest thing in my bag is the head of the teenaged checkout wench that called me "hon" the other day. That's not why her head is in my bag though. That only happened when she called me "dear".<br/><br/>I am 30 years old. I do not take kindly to people much younger than me calling me hon or dear. <br/><br/>Okay, so that comment was silly, because really, I just went to look in my purse, and I must be very, very boring. Sunglasses, powder, photos, a gun, bags and bags of prescription drugs. The usual. The weirdest thing in my bag is the head of the teenaged checkout wench that called me “hon” the other day.

You never know when you might need to play a good game of Conkers. I also have the handle, and only the handle, mind you, to a very small screwdriver. I have no idea where the metal doohickey is, but if I come across it, I have the orange, plastic handle. My final odd thing is a NYC subway token. Which isn't odd so much as it is nostalgic, since they've done away with them (boo hiss). I have two horse chestnuts in my handbag. You never know when you might need to play a good game of Conkers.

It lives inside my (huge, bookbag size)purse. <br/><br/>Seriously - it's a ziploc with four odd-sized legos, three dinky cars, an unopened McDonald's toy, a golf ball, a teeny-tiny thing of hand lotion, and a mangled plastic milk carton ring.<br/><br/>And this is how I get through an hour and a half at the DMV without short person meltdown.

I tend to be a little bit anal *that* way... plus it's my son's favorite toy when he plays 'empty mommy's purse into the shopping cart.'
