My parents called me a bag lady from a very young age.
I had this little 101 Dalmatians suitcase, and I carried it around the house everywhere. It was packed with everything I 100% needed at any given moment: Barbies, a coloring book, markers, pencils, and all the little knickknacks. I was always ready. You never knew when you'd need the markers.
Jokes on them, because I am a paid bag lady now.
Turns out all that practice paid off. The bags are bigger now, the materials are retired sails, and people pay me for them. But the instinct is exactly the same: pack everything you might need, be ready for anything.
