What do you think?

Larkin said: Those reading tests make writing like a big woman's purse.


I tried to talk to her and figure out what she meant by that.
I asked questions like:

So are reading tests hard?
Does that mean a big woman's purse is hard?
So if a big woman's purse is good then what about reading tests? I thought you didn't like those.
Where does the big purse come into play?


I still don't quite understand.
I did figure out that:

Reading tests are hard.
A big woman's purse is good.
She wasn't talking about writing tests.
Somehow math tests are involved.
And the woman is big not the purse.


Larkin finally just got mad at me and I had to stop before I made her cry. I really just wanted to figure it out because I think that the things Larkin says are so interesting and I really think I would have been able to get to the bottom of the "purse" if her sister hadn't started laughing.
