Like Mother, Like Daughter

Maggie is so much like me, it’s scary! She seems to have this obsession with purses. She spends way too much time in my closet, organizing my purses by color, style or designer. She’s just really into it.

I’ve been looking on ebay and really wanting to get her a nice bag. I know she likes Prada (don’t we all?) but I’m sure she’d settle for Coach. Actually, I really like Coach although I have only two Coach bags. I’ve seen a few Fossil and 9west bags that she might like, too.

The only problem I have with buying her a really nice purse is that she overstuffs them. And I do mean STUFFS them! It doesn’t matter the size of the purse. She’ll fill it up to capacity and then squeeze in just a few more things until it’s overflowing. That makes me crazy.

I’ve told her that she really doesn’t need two calculators in her purse (she can keep one in her locker for emergency backup), or a dozen writing pens. I can see carrying a lip gloss but why does she need FIVE lipglosses?

I honestly don’t remember stuffing my purse like that at her age. I think it’s her way of embracing the pack rat gene that I’m sure I passed on to her. ~Sigh~ I guess I’ll get he a nice designer purse and hope she loves it so much that she doesn’t overstuff it. Then I’ll bite my tongue if she does.
