mom and my new purse
My mom and I are visiting my Aunt as well as my cousins.Any way today after I had breakfast with just my mom and my aunt I went shopping on my own and then my aunt and my mom went back to my Aunts Apartment at her Assisted Living Place. About a half hour into my shopping my zipper to my purse broke. I went to a store and purchased a new purse (a bigger one to hold everything). This one does not have a zipper but a magnetic snap. Anyway I transferred all my stuff from my old purse into the new one, checked the old one to see if I missed anything and then threw the old one out at the mall when I saw I transferred everything into the new purse.When I came back to the apartment my mom saw my new purse and I told her what happened. When I told her I did not keep the old purse (that I threw it out after transferring everything from the old purse to the new purse) she asked me was I sure I took everything out of the old purse. I told her I did and she asked me three more times was I sure that I did take everything out of the old purse. I then told her that I needed to buy the new one and I asked her what she would have done and she said you know me I would have brought the old purse back to the apartment and checked the old purse a few more times. However, when she said the above to me what went through my mind is that she was implying I should have still used the old one.MY QUESTION: Am I thinking stupidly and how would you have interpreted what my mom said if she said it to you?

No, what you were thinking is not stupid. I think your mom was just being cautious. That maybe she could have fixed it or that you could've double checked...triple checked, however many times until you were positive everything was out. I wouldn't worry about it, my mom would have done the same thing.

I think she is just impling that next time bring the old purse home just incase you did forget something.

I would have done the same thing you did. If the old purse was broken, why keep it? And I bet your mom would've done the same thing, too. But I think she was just trying to make the point that you can still use things, even if they aren't in perfect condition.
Her reaction might have had something to do with the fact that your aunt was there. I'm guessing from where your aunt lives, that she doesn't have a whole lot of money, and needs to be pretty thrifty. So your mom probably didn't want your aunt to think that she's raising you to be frivilous and careless with money. I bet if your aunt wasn't there, your mom wouldn't have made such a big deal about it.

she was probably just making sure you didnt leave your money or keys or anything important in the old purse. im sure she doesnt mind that you bought a new purse and threw the old one out because it was broken. i dont think that she was implying that she wanted you to keep the old one, just that she wanted to make sure you didnt forget anything before you threw it away.

i think she was just concerned that you may have overlooked something that was still in the purse. if you had brought it home with you, you could have double checked for anything you mightve missed, and if you found that you were missing something later on, the purse may have still been near by for you to see if it was there. i do not think she expected you to use the broken one, however she may have also that it couldve been fixed up somehow so it could still be used.
