I have a lot of what I like to call “theories” – others I won’t name (Jennifer) call them crazy ideas – that I stockpile to explain the way the world works or should work in my mind.

The shall not be named person will on occasion throw one of my more “creative” theories around to her friends in an effort to enlighten them on how the world ought to be (according to just me).  The most recent favorite “theory” is that of purse size.

My purse is the size of an extra large diaper bag.  I do not carry this purse because I have a need to allay some latent Sherpa tendencies – no I carry this behemoth to make my butt look smaller.

You see a hobbit sized purse makes your butt look bigger and a diaper bag like mine makes your butt appear smaller.

If you think about it this “theory” is sound.  Small stuff makes everything around it appear larger.  Try it for yourself.

Grab a tea cup – you know the frilly fussy little things that came with your good china.  Now look at your hand.  Look at those sausage fingers of yours!  That paw is HUGE!

Next grab an extra large coffee mug – you know the kind you drink from every morning.  Now look at your hand. Look at those delicate, slender, dainty fingers.  Your hand is so TINY!

The effect is the same for your butt, just substitute purse for the cups, thighs for fingers, and butt for paw and hand.

I’m just sayin’. ~V
