Women are supposed to carry most of the necessary things in their purse. You have a headache. Out comes an aspirin. Your child starts sneezing. Here is a tissue. And your friend forgot to put bindi on her forehead. She gets 3 different types and sizes of bindis. Some one's feet are hurting. Out comes a bottle of iodex. So you get almost everything except for a kitchen sink.
I was reminded of this when I saw an episode of "How I met your mother" where Robin produces everything from a mobile charger to a beer bottle (in a funeral - that is not important). And then I remembered a story where Sonia Gandhi is said to have got her sari torn in some occasion, and immediately Late Indira Gandhi - then Prime minister, pulled out a needle and a thread from her purse!!!
These are the perfect women. I am, if anything anti-perfect woman. I take 3 minutes to take out house key from my purse. When I want to give the tailor's receipt. I get a bank challan, I get a medical bill, I get a late fee receipt from the library, a month old grocery list, but no bill of tailor. So I thought I should carry lesser things in my purse and hence bought a smaller purse. Now my purse is tiny, so much so that I can't even carry the current book I am reading in that - book is essential, if I have to wait anywhere for more than 5 minutes.
But one thing is for sure, perfect or anti-perfect, your purse is the store house for entire population of the house. Your husband's spectacle case, your child's mobile charger, the half used cookie packet, and a small box of breakfast to name a few. It also doubles as a pillow for your child when you are traveling.
