At a business meeting the other day, I did not have my business cards or my notepad. I did have a pen.
The weather had been cold, warm and then cold again in a short period of time. I’d changed my purse a number of times. Some items were left behind in the transfer.
I mentioned the “purse change” issue to the man I was with and received a blank look. I met with a woman the next day and relayed this story as a funny Mars meets Venus situation. She said, “oh, you changed your purse because of the weather, right? It’s so hard to keep track of things with this changing weather.”
She got it.
Flash forward and I meet with a different woman. She brings out her pad of paper to write down some things I’m talking about, but she doesn’t bring out a pen. I think it’s a bit odd, but I don’t say anything. Then, she asks me for a pen.
I ask, “did you change purses recently?”
Why, yes, she had.

How funny. I hope she enjoys the post!
That is so true…my husband has no idea what the fascination is with changing purses…he just doesn’t get it.
