When I was in high school, my church youth pastor often would play a game called what’s in your wallet? It had some great alliteration but it extended to purses and other items on your person. Often the items were movie stubs, receipts, ChapStick, or other odds and ends that either often are left in a bag intentionally or unintentionally. A friend of mine and I loved playing the game and often won by being the first one to bring up the item requested.
Now I am much more intentional about what I keep in my purse, especially since I can quickly go from carrying only my essentials to my children requesting that I carry all of their items.
