Last week Amanda’s car needed to be serviced so she took mine to school. When I grabbed her keys from the hook I couldn’t help but notice the weight (and mass.) What is it with girls and key chains? Do they take a class in key chain attachments? When I was 17, I just wanted the key and nothing else if possible. If it was on a ring with maybe a house key, fine. Granted, when she is out she carries her keys in her purse, and I carried mine in the pocket of my somewhat form-fitting jeans (circa 1982). There wasn’t much room in there.
But still, Amanda’s key chain is out of control. I mean there are like six keys, four key rings, two lanyards, a leather craft, a Swiss army knife, a nail file, flint, a hacksaw, snow chains, a beaver’s den, etc. And still she rifles through her purse saying, “Where are my keys?” Where aren’t they? Just grab anything and pull, chances are they are attached. Try the cigar store Indian or the hammock.

beavers den...hee hee...what is Stephen's media room doing in her purse?
Just wait until she has to carry everyone's stuff in her purse, i.e. husbands wallet, his keys, kids ipods, handouts from church, snacks if anyone in the family gets hungry at any given time, handywipes, all flavors of lip gloss, water bottles, the checkbook (cause it doesn't fit in a guys pocket)and anything else that the family carries out of the house but doesn't want to carry after 5 minutes. Then she will get rid of all the extras - I did:)!
Yes Sondra! The problem gets worse! I remember whe we had small kids; Kara's key chain was like a portable hygiene and medical kit. There were baby wipes, a little tube of cotton swabs and Band-aids, tongue depressors, a stethoscope, defibrillators, a mini cardiac catheterization lab, etc.
(If hyperbole is a sin, I need to repent!)
