I recently changed purses to a smaller one. When the 15yo teenage boy saw the new one he said:
“Why did you change to that one? WE can’t fit as much stuff in that one!
WE……..WE….
I do like the smaller one. I like how much lighter it is, it doesn’t hurt my shoulder to carry it.
It just isn’t big enough, though. I often have to carry supplies for my husband who has diabetes. I have to carry snacks for him when we go out, and I often carry his test kit in my purse. Because, you know, I’m carrying it anyway, and if I carry it, he won’t have to take a bag, too.
So I carry his stuff. At least then I know he will have his test kit and snacks if he needs them.
So I will change to a larger purse.
So I absolutely refuse to carry anything for the kids.
If they can’t carry it themselves, do they really need to bring it?
