Women take a lot of good natured teasing about their purses. There are some men who wonder why we need one at all. My friend's husband and I were talking recently about this issue and he was boasting that men travel light. "Men can fit things in a couple of pockets and don't need purses." He said.
I looked down at his cargo pants that had six or seven very large pockets, and all were full. On the wall was his fishing vest with pockets that carried more than my handbag could accommodate. In the den sat a briefcase and a small satchel which he carries to work with him every day. Nodding to the satchel I asked, "Isn't that a murse?" He vehemently denied it and said it was a small satchel for work to carry a few items like tissues, hand sanitizer, checkbook, business cards, ipad etc. His wallet and keys are tucked safely in his pocket.
I nodded my head and silently itemized the contents of my handbag. Wallet, keys, comb, tissues, hand sanitizer, lip gloss, checkbook, phone, business cards and if I had an Ipad it would be in there too.
I just nodded my head and said "Oh." There wasn't anything else to be said and it wasn't the appropriate time for a debate. What is more important is that I know he reads this blog.
