The woman handbag - a hidden universe

Have you ever wondered what a small handbag can hold? You would probably answer - basic things like money, phone, and keys!

The answer is much more complicated. A handbag is an undisclosed black hole in which you can find anything from the usual - lipstick and mascara to the much stranger items like a screwdriver, nails, or even silicone tile adhesive.

A lady's handbag is an object or product that is used by all members of the female sex. We carefully maintain them, we go through them every time we go shopping because we can't find the famous purse because of the thousands of things that are in our handbag.

Depending on the occasion, a handbag can vary in size and material of construction, as well as varying the length of the handle and thus making it different at every moment. Colors are another topic I won't discuss at the moment.

Have you ever thought about how your handbag has "evolved" over the years, you probably like me when I was a teenager had a little semblance of a handbag that held no more than 5 things, what about now?

Can you tell me the approximate number of items that are in it?

When children come into a woman's life the number of items grows, as does the size of the handbag itself. We start storing things in there because we go out and we might need something.

For myself, I can say it's probably over 50. That includes the usual - money, phone, keys... plus more wet wipes, dry wipes, miscellaneous small carts, water, chalk, a rock, or maybe a leaf was given to me by my son to keep for later and whatnot. The list is almost endless, and yes probably thousands of biscuit crumbs, even if I clean it out every week and don't put biscuits in it or any food in it - it food in there appears by itself.

No matter what kind of bag you have and how much stuff it contains, be glad there's someone to hand you the next rock or chestnut to put away!
