How Did That Get In There??

We moms have weird stuff in our purses.  One time... I even had a poopy diaper. I'm not proud of that.  But I was at someone's house for the first time, and I really didn't want to put something so disgusting in this virtual stranger's trash, so somehow my purse seemed like a better option....not one of my finer moments.  A lot of times we carry around all the necessities, things we need.  Things we haven't needed in years.  Things we might need in case of an asteroid hitting our mini-van while we are on the merry-go-round with our kids.  We carry things for our husbands.  We carry things to occupy the kids in waiting rooms and check out lines.  We carry things for our baby.  We carry things that would make Bear Grylls shout for joy if he was stranded and came upon our purses.  {As if we would accidentally abandon our super cute purse, Ha!}  So why, if we are so prepared for every incidence, do we never have a stick of gum {even though we have the empty foil pouch that holds the gum} or a quarter?

So, what's in your purse?

I'll go first, since it was my idea and all:
*One Fisher Price hammer

*Expired antibiotics with one pill left

*Chia seeds in a ziploc

*School supply list

*About 20 grocery lists

*Victoria's secret lip gloss.  Not mine and I don't know where it came from.  I really want to use it, but like I said.... don't know where it came from.  I keep it in there in case some day I'm not a germ-a-phobe anymore.  I just can't seem to throw out perfectly good lip gloss.  It would be a waste.  But I also can't wear it..... cuz.... don't know who's lips it was on last or where those lips have been before touching the lip gloss.

*Cute 31 zipper pouch that I love!

*1 marble

*1 contact case--Its been about a year since I've taken my contacts out... so I don't know why that's in there.  Plus I'm totally blind without them in, so its not like I would get to a location and think that I would really need to have the option to remove my only source of vision.  Seriously people, I might as well be that guy in Star Trek with the visor-y thing.

*1 sapphire earring that belongs to my mom.... who lives several states away.  Another mystery.

1 wallet

1 set of van keys with every pharmacy card known to man.  Which is weird, because we hardly ever go to the doctor.

One coconut flavored dum-dum

1 tube of diaper cream.... even though I no longer have a baby in diapers....

And last but not least, 1 train that I keep in there for really desperate situations.

{I didn't pull it all out, because I just really didn't want to put it all back, or be guilted into putting the stuff where it belongs}

The funny thing is that, almost every time I am searching through my purse to find, basically only my wallet, keys or cell phone.... I say to myself "How did that get in there???"  Or, "I should really clean that thing out."

And I'm guessing that every single one of my purses has equally weird contents, because when I switch purses I only take my wallet, phone, chap-stick and keys.  What's in your purse?!
