Valuable life lessons, from me to you

I learned a valuable Life Lesson today, one which you may already know. But just in case you DON'T know, I'm going to share it here. It's that important.

Never, under any circumstances, put Junior Mints in your purse.

The scenario: An afternoon movie matinee at a theater that doesn't carry Junior Mints.

The crime: A swing by Walgreens to purchase contraband Junior mints on the way to the theater.

The error in judgment: Discreetly reaching into the purse in a darkened movie theater to open one end of the box, slip out some mints, then close the box again. LIKE IT EVER STAYS CLOSED!

Dun-dun-DUN!

It won't surprise you to learn that by the time I got to the parking lot—in this 100 degree plus heat—a number pieces had slid out of the box and melted at the bottom of my purse. Not just on the bottom of the purse, but on my ink pen, my Tide spot remover pen, my leather wallet, my sunglass case…you get the idea.
I thought I would rescue the handbag using some exotic freezer-scrape routine, but my expectations are low.

However, don't let my fiasco be in vain—see this as the cautionary tale that it is, and never, ever, put Junior Mints in your handbag. And Regal Hacienda Theatre...stop making me a criminal! Stock your concession stands with Junior Mints, for goodness' sake!
