-and with a culture of aristocracy in the South vs. a working class North...?
Oops! That's not what I was implying, as the socio-economic range pays no attention to man-made borders. I'm still musing on why an [existing] structure for language and socialization has been overturned in some places and not others.
What are you doing carrying around my handbag?!?! Oh, my bad, mine had the crochet and Terry Pratchett's Night Watch and enough medicine to choke a horse.
Actually, aside from the ciggies, this might belong to mom or sister-in-law; I carry the smallest one possible, and only when I have to. Crochet or knitting needles: still considered WMDs by the airlines, I believe? Good choice on the Terry Pratchett, though.
I checked the weight of two rolls of quarters against the weight of my husband's Chihuahua, Don Pepé, and you know what, they were about the same!! ... But, Don Pepé is still a good fashion accessory.. Looks so cute with his little head sticking out of my handbag ...
It's been a culture shock to see ladies carrying ornamental dogs in stores here; never saw that back in Wiscahhhnsin. Maybe I
should get a giant handbag and start packing Dominic-nic-nic around. He's a 13-pound
(how many rolls of quarters is that?) domestic short-hair who likes to roughhouse. Moshing with bag boys would definitely appeal to him!
