Remember that episode of Friends where Pheobe is digging through her purse to find gum and takes out a shoe, an egg, and a goldfish?
Yeah, this kind of like that. Except this is real-life and the purse hoarder is none other than Jennifer Garner.
Jennifer Garner has always been sort of quirky.
Just take a scroll through her Instagram and you’ll see what we mean.
It’s just post after post of awesome randomness — and we love every minute of it.
Like that time she relived her high school marching band days.
While most of us try to forget memories from high school, Garner is totally embracing it.
In a video shared to Instagram, she got all dressed up in her old uniform and belted out a tune for Reese Witherspoon’s birthday.
Or that time she spoke nothing but nonsense on “Ellen”.
We’re still laughing at this video of Jennifer playing Speak Out on The Ellen DeGeneres Show .
She sounds an awful lot like we do when we’re a few shots in …
Whenever Jennifer isn’t being silly on social media, she’s busy spending time with her kids.
She’s not a regular mom, she’s a cool mom.
Recently, she visited Disneyland with her youngest kiddos, Seraphina, 10, and Samuel, 7.
She had both kids, plus her eldest daughter, Violet, with ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
The pair got married in 2005, then called it quits in 2018.
Divorce is never easy, but these famous parents don’t let it interfere with raising their kids.
On Mother’s Day, the Batman star even posted a sweet tribute to Garner and his mother.
But back to the woman of the hour who recently shared this hilarious vid.
It’s of the Peppermint star digging through her purse trying to find her reading glasses, as many of us do.
Except this ends up being a case of the never-ending bag.
It all started with her turning up the basics.
Some of the first items to be found was a notebook, datebook and not one but three pairs of sunglasses.
She must need a massage on the reg just to handle lugging all of this stuff around.
From there, things escalated … fast.
At this point, we half-expected one of her kids to come walking out.
Instead, we got a mini beaker, because why not?
Just when you think it’s over, this gift of a vid just keeps on giving.
There was also floss, a deck of playing cards, and a pack of mints, which she happily ate.
Energy for her quest, perhaps?
Oh yeah, and there was a fake (?!) Capital One Venture card.
And we thought OUR purse was over-packed.
Since there were too many pens to count, she captioned the number of them onscreen as “pensssssssss.”
Same, Jen, same.
In the end, she was close to giving up.
“I don’t know where my reading glasses went. They’re not in here. I quit,” the actress declared.
A few seconds later, she laughs as she reaches for something off camera.
It was… drumroll, please… her reading glasses.
After all that trouble, her glasses were on the table nearby.
Phew. Someone check our blood pressure because we were starting to get really stressed out.
Fans couldn’t help but relate to her struggle.
A lot of people were also asking where she got her purse from. #priorities
“It’s like Mary Poppins bag,” one person wrote.
“Celebrities… they’re just like us,” another person said, along with a laughing emoji.
Oh Jen. This whole thing just makes us love her even more.
Even though we’re still baffled by that tiny beaker.
Turns out, you don’t need to be 30 to be flirty and thriving.
