Hold everything!
Have you ever noticed how the larger your purse, the more things your family expects you to carry for them? NEVER take a big satchel type purse to an amusement park! Why?
- You will wind up carrying an extra 15 pounds of sunscreen, others’ purchases, the baby’s socks, the half-eaten sandwich junior left from lunch, souvenir flattened pennies, park maps, rain ponchos, and Dad’s extra film
- You will get stuck in all the turnstyles
- You will beat yourself and family members half to death on those rides that turn you upside down because you had to carry on the purse since there was no one to leave it with
- You will develop rotator cuff from dragging it throughout the day
- You will ruin your best white pants or blouse when a sudden rainstorm causes the bright colors of your favorite bag to leach into your clothes
Can you find your keys?
- You will sit by yourself on the tram because your purse takes up the rest of the bench
- At the end of the day you will stand dog-tired in the parking lot unable to find your car keys at the bottom
HURRAY FOR SMALL PURSES!

@PinkLadybug -
It makes no sense to me. Men wear makeup, wear jewelry, etc. Why not carry a purse. I fear I am becoming my stepmother. I remember as a little girl her carrying my dad’s reading glasses & wallet. Hello…. I’m doing the same thing. YIKES!!!!!
Why are men so afraid to carry a man bag?
I am relating to this REALITY as well….recently on a family trip when everyone expected me to have the big bag, hold not just the little stuff, but water, snacks, etc., my husband finally said “If you didn’t have the bag to carry it all, they wouldn’t ask you to.” So I bought myself a small, very cute, and expensive (at least for me) purse. Let’s see how this works on our next family outing!
My husband hands off everything to me, even if it’s a piece of paper it get’s passed off to me. It’s like he always has to have his hands free. Sometimes I just rebel and let him hold it. Then I get that puzzled look, that says, “Are you kidding, you know I can’t hold this.” It must be a guy thing.
I totally agree with your purse theory! Too funny…so true :)
