10 Sure-Fire Signs You're Turning Into Your Mother

5. Your Bag Is Prepared For Any Eventuality

marypoppinshandbag The world is ever-changing, so it makes sense to be prepared, right? After all, being prepared means being able and ready and capable to tackle anything and everything the world throws at you. Except, then you realise that that's exactly what your mother used to do when you were a child - and still does. And it's now making complete and utter sense, rather than being framed as boring. Packing your bag for the day ahead seems quite reasonable and smart, now that you've realised that while it might seem like fun being that free and easy person you drifts through life with only a chapstick and a wild dream, it's also kind of rubbish too. Actually planning and being prepared has way more benefits. You always have the umbrella, the spare scarf, those loyalty cards, the spare book for the dentist's office, or change of make up for literally any situation. You become that organised, collected, 'together' person which a lot of people envy - and boy does it feel good.
