For those of you who remember this game show you will understand the meaning of this post. If I remember correctly, I was very young, the audience were dressed in costumes and Monty Hall would found a person and ask if they had a particular item with them. For example; if they had a safety pin he would give them $100 cash. They then had the choice to keep the money or trade it for what is behind curtain #?. Could be a car or maybe chickens.
This is some of the contents from my Mom’s – Let’s Make A Deal Purse.
Here are a few things I couldn’t resist pointing out:
- The letter from your favorite son. Mom – this letter is from 1979. It is time to put in the baby book.
- The peanut butter and crackers. Mom – after being smashed in your purse and peanut butter all over, we do not need a snacky snack.
- The add water to your koolaid packs. Mom – they are really cute and all but we are perfectly capable of pulling in a drive thru if we are thristy.
- The measuring tape. Mom - we don’t want to know.
- The fan. Mom – this fan has seen better days. If I recall this was purchased in Arkansas over 20 years ago. Please refrain from pulling it out in public. We will buy you a new one.
- The underwear in a baggie. Mom – this advice is from the younger sister – if you get in an accident, you will not have time to use your wippies, clean up with your mickey mouse bar of soap, spray your body spray and change your underwear.
I took my Mom and niece to get flowers this weekend and when I turned around I saw my Mom had given Addison a snacky snack. The peanut butter and crackers. After Addison was all finished my Mom pulled out the wash cloth and washed her down. I guess this is what you would consider a Mom-Grandma-Great Grandma who is always prepared.
Hope all of you Mother’s had a great Mother’s Day.

Hey, she is just a prepared lady. Although I’m a little concerned about the measuring tape as well:)
OK everyone be nice. You never know when you might need to measure something. Like maybe a lampshade or picture frame, how wide a stove is or fridge so if need to I am prepared. I have suckers to hush a crying child or a toy. You see how nice addy was while you bought flowers my purse had things in it to entertain her. And when we went to eat and addy dropped her spoon on the floor we didn’t have to call waitress I just took one out of my purse. At the Little League game when a player got a bloody nose I had the wash cloth. So Gram is always ready. oxxoxo
I’d hate to actually empty my purse and see what’s in it…
That is too funny. My Mom’s purse is almost the same. Sounds like you have a great Mom who is always concerned for others.
I can remember trying to have all the bases covered when my kids were little. My oldest is 31 and my youngest will be 27…When I take the grandchildren, which isn’t very often, I try to take a few things to help in a pinch.
Your Mom has it ALL together!
Lol. That somehow reminds me what the purse of my wife looks like. She is forever rummaging around in it to find something she needs. I think except the kitchen sink she keeps the office and the rest of the household in that small purse.
Having said that I have to admit that this is handy. When I need something all I have to say is “Honey do we have….” And sure enough after a little searching in her purse she will produce the item.
