Some women are organized; the rest of us are just lucky

Just three minutes ago, Merry glanced up from her math homework.

"Do you know where the tape measure is?"  she asked.

I looked up from the sink, where I was soaping a bowl.  "You mean because we don't seem to have any rulers any more?"

"Yes."

I turned the water off.  "Okay, listen.  Go down in the bottom bathroom cupboard.  Look in the back [behind the toilet cleaner and plunger] and pull out a pink box with a princess sticker on it.  There you will find the tape measure."

Merry scrunched up her nose.  "Weird place."

But she found the pink princess box.  Inside: three tampons, a handful of quarters, and a miniature tape measure.

Some women are organized.  Some women are just lucky to know where their pink princess boxes are.
