What's That?

Is the question one person would ask if they found my wallet. It is so old and worn that the only thing holding it together is duct tape. This may have one thinking I am cheap, or possibly, thrifty. Although, if they knew what this wallet has been through they would be thoroughly impressed. Multiple moves various states and not to mention, a few run-ins with my car tires. In order to realize it was someone's wallet, they would have to open it by taking off the rubber bands holding it shut. Classy, right? They would immediately see two pictures of a small child (my son) and a ton of various cards. Sifting through these cards, they will not find my ID, cash or a debit card like most normal people. However, they will find membership cards to The Woodland Park Zoo and The Everett Children's Museum, an Aveda employee card, an insurance card and a ton of receipts. Digging deeper into various pockets and zippers they will eventually find my ID in one place, a debit card in another and possibly one folded up $20 bill.

 I would hope the person who stumbled upon this realized that I am a mother and enjoy taking my son places. My age on my ID would maybe suggest I am a nanny or an aunt though, plus I still look like I am in High School. The employee card will let them know I am employed at Aveda, and having no money to steal will suggest I don't get paid well. Overall, based on the outside and inside appearance, I would be labeled as a person who cares deeply enough about a small boy, whether it's a son or nephew, to have two pictures of him and two expensive membership cards. As well as a cheap, young adult, paranoid of having things stolen due to the fact of the important cards/cash are hidden in different places. Lastly, a weirdo who has a ridiculously large, worn, duct tape "thing" she uses as a wallet. 

To sum it up, no one would really be able to figure out much about who I really was or even what I really looked like by looking through my wallet. If their assumptions are like anything I predicted above, it is true, I do love my son and I am quite thrifty, but that's about it.
