How I saved an Hermes purse...

My mother still has the Constance but she hardly ever uses it! It is the subject of a lot of family jokes. It all happened so long ago that I think the scary aspects have dimmed in our memories! An incident like that today would be horrible. We were very lucky.
 
I love a quick thinking "H" fan!

A wonderful story--with, luckily, a very happy ending! Thanks for sharing it with us!

You and your sister were MUCH nicer children! My sister and I would hide in the car so my mother would freak out and wonder what happened to us! OR, we'd flop out of the car like were were passed out whenever she opened the door. She quickly stopped leaving us to cause trouble and dragged us into the stores with her--where we had to sit silently and touch nothing--it was nicer in the car! :smile:
