A story. Was at a museum in Chicago not paying enough attention to my purse which was sitting in an empty stroller, and turned around to a man with his hand in the purse. Because it was a small(?) metro tote deluxe, the bag is unnavigable to anyone but me. My mini wallet lives in one fully zipped pocket, my phone elsewhere, nothing else of true importance, everything requiring two hands because it’s a slouchy bag. If he had actually managed to grab anything, it would have been one of those puke bags they have in Dr offices, with the plastic rims (empty/clean

). So, hooray for MZ Wallace.
I keep trying to migrate back to smaller bags but I’m due to have a baby in November and somehow feel like I need flexibility of space in a bag! But as sunblock season ends maybe.
