Women, Wallets, and Purses

Men don't understand why women need many bags, and many shoes. Men usually have 1, 2, or maybe 3. But when it comes to wallets, women only need one. Why? Because it's a hassle to change bags. Of course C still didn't get it...if women can change bags, what's so difficult about changing wallets?

so as I explained to C:

Me: Wallet is for putting cash and cards. Bag is to put wallet and other parang parang.
C: but you have many purses.
Me: yes but a purse is not necessary a wallet, though wallet can be a purse.
C: HUH?!
Me: Purse can also be a wallet, or a bag.
C: so you can have many bags or purses but 1 wallet? but the wallet can also be a purse?
Me: Yes.
C: So if a purse can be a wallet, so technically women have more than 1 wallet.
Me: purse can put many things, including cash, coins (hence coin purse), and other stuff like handphone, keys etc.
C: so it's a bag?
Me: yes, but a purse usually can vary in size small clutch to shoulder handbag. A bigger bag is not called a purse, can be called a carry-all, or a messenger or a tote.
C: so you can have many purses but still only 1 wallet?
Me: yes. a men's wallet can also be called a billfold....and a wallet with a chequebook pocket is called a pocketbook...
C: Argh argh argh!!!!!

I might be hopeless when it comes to animal types, but hey, when it's bags and shoes, i'm definitely one up from C. ha ha.

ER.. FROM YOUR OPENING SENTENCE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT SORT OF A GIRL YOU ARE.. AND ALSO WHY YOU NEED SUCH A BIG PURSE!!!...
I quote "Me: Wallet is for putting cash and cards. Bag is to put wallet and other parang parang."..

A PARANG is a really big knife/ sword that is used to chop trees and clear brush from your path.. also known as a favorate weapon of choice for Ah Beng Gangs as it is useful for chopping off body parts and such... so now we know!!!! you GANGSTA gal!!

And by the way, my head still hurts... let me offer this as a analogy..

a car can be a convertible, Targa top, coupe, or cabolet(sp?), it can also be a spyder, a saloon, a SUV, a sports sedan, a family sadan, an estate, a 4 wheel drive, a compact, a sports compact an MPV, a cross over vehicle etc.. so THERE!!!! guys can be just as confusing with our toys!
