Guilty as Charged

My husband and I have very little in common when it comes to our viewing pleasures. However, we both have an interest in those fabulous crime shows of which there are always a plethora of re-runs. We were watching our second CSI last night (and were still to watch NUMBERS) when the crime was basically solved by looking through the contents of a woman's purse. It got me to thinking... what would someone figure out from looking in my purse? I had to dump and dig just out of pure curiousity. I was a little disappointed at my find, the snacks are all gone, the lighter from a recent birthday party has been removed (it would have added a little smoker debate at least, to sway the findings), and all in all my purse is pretty clean right now! There's the wallet, sunglasses, lipgloss and keys which are mine... the rest, well except for the feminine necessities, the rest are all child-related!

Here's what the findings say to me (yes we always let the evidence speak for itself):

A mother of child-bearing years who spends much of her time reading books, fixing boo-boos, and bribing with small coins, gum and good-smelling hand lotion. A woman who is not afraid to bounce a ball with her preschooler in a very full waiting room. A person who can think up 101 ways to use a baby wipe and will have to use said ways within the day. Someone in the midst of potty training and planning dinner for a group of picky-eaters (see yellow post-it note). A mother capable of taking her entire family to the Ontario Science Museum (see ticket stubs) and allowing a thirsty toddler with gargantuan amounts of backwash and floaties to drink from her water bottle. A lucky individual with a gift card to be spent anonymously at a grocery store so as not to leave a trace (except for the screaming toddler being dragged behind her). Said woman is also wearing dark shades to conceal lack of make-up and minimize headache... said suspect is also carrying a large rope capable of strangulation. Fortunately, findings speak for themselves, pepetrator is carrying way too many items to suggest she is a loving mother than otherwise. Suspect is free to go home and give the kids a bath.
