At lunch I was looking for my phone in my purse and I came across a packet of Mayonnaise. I have no idea where it came from or why its there. Ever find anything strange or unexpected in your purse?
I should add that I dont think my kids are to blame, allthough I think the suspect may be my big kid ( aka husband)

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

If my kids were older than 1 I may not have been so shocked to find a condiment in my purse, When I called my husband and asked him his answer was I dont know, why is there mayo in your purse?... I think I need to empty my purse when I get home and make sure theres not a sandwich in there too ! :)

Just yesterday, I found a small stuffed whale that my son won at a fair and immediately forgot about...so there it stayed. All Shamu-like.

My husband does not put things in my purse. He is afraid of my purse. It think he believes it will chew his arm off if he reaches inside. I ask him to get me my car keys... he brings the whole purse: "Here, you find them in there!"

okay, I can't resist!

Thank goodness, it's a condiment & not a condom!

Yep, I'm slap-happy....I've had 4.5 hours of sleep, we played/worked hard all holiday weekend, & my daycare kids are all asleep. I can't wait until quitting time...I'll have just enough time for a 30minute nap!

That's funny. You're husband was waiting for the punch line. Was your purse maybe on the floor at Mcdonalds? I have had odd things fall into my purse that way. The strangest thing in my purse right now is a HotWheel Car.

My hubby is like Mary's...he is afraid of my purse...but mostly because he is afraid of feminine products. Apparently in his mind they will attack even if unprovoked. He is one of these men who doesn't want to know about or even hear the words "period", "Flow"..etc. Its like a big secret...I say things like "I feel crappy cuz , well, I have my thing...you know?". Its stupid. Dumb man.

He will bring me the whole purse if he is in need of any of its contents...even when I had surgery. I was drugged, bleeding from the bandage, and he would NOT dig thru my purse (to my very obvious and large wallet he has seen a million times as I have had the same one for about 10 years) to get cash for the parking ramp at the surgery center. Dumb man.

I just emptied crumbly Saltine packages from my purse yesterday. I decided I have become old with that one item! Saltines in my purse. UGH. I don't remember putting them there...thats the sad part.

Yep.
I found ketchup packets in my purse and I must have been carrying them around with me for at least 6 months.
I know I put them there - I just forgot all about them.
Makes me think I need a smaller purse or I need to make a habit of dumping it out every month for a clean out.

That's funny. I just got a delivery and when I opened the door, not only was my package from Babies R Us there, but in a plastic bag was a $10 bill and a $20 bill drawn by a little kid. There is no note or anything, and I don't know why I have it. I left it there, maybe the kid who drew it will come back for it.

My first thought is husband. Not sure why but they think they have some claim to the purse as well. I find all kinds of strange stuff in my purse. I usually catch him in the act and give him a look where he actually says can you hold on to this for me. Sure hon, I will hold onto it until you forget it is there and throw it out for you. :)

Nothing unexpected any longer because I've because used to the contents of my purse. My children hand me things at the most inopportune times to hold for them. My purse may contain hair clips, leaves, rocks, half-eaten pieces of candy and any number of other "treaures" they cannot part with but cannot be bothered to hold. The only strange thing was my sisters' car keys. She was leaving my house at one point and couldn't find her keys. Had to call her husband over to bring a spare set. Later, I found her keys inside my closed purse. I think she had laid them on my kitchen counter, and I just scooped them up and stuffed them inside my purse thinking they were mine.

I found french fries in my purse once. What made it even more odd was my son was not little (he was 13 or 14 years old) and we hadn't eaten french fries in several weeks, or been to any place that served them.

No one ever did admit to putting them in there.
