The Things They Carry


The Things They Carry

Women’s handbags have always been a mystery to me.

As a kid, I was convinced that my mom and her friends carried around in their bags all sorts of magical items, plus of course a couple of bricks. Mom’s bag was always so heavy. I could not lift it. I thought there was some kind of law that they needed to carry bags like this – in case they needed to save the world or something.  

As a grown man, I can’t really say I find handbags and purses any less puzzling.
