Andrea Wyatt's Picnic Bag (Tidal Basin tote)

A medium-sized, soft-sided tote or shoulder bag that holds picnic accoutrements—Tupperware, a pie, napkins, and small personal items. Fabric and color are unspecified but the bag flexes and gives when Andrea reaches inside; its zipper or flap opens easily for a quick, intimate offering. Andrea pulls the pie from the bag to present to Toby, the bag functioning as a practical container and a focal prop in their sunny exchange near the Tidal Basin.

Pie, Politics, and Mandatory Minimums

Andrea's tote/bag functions as a practical prop and reveal device: she reaches inside to produce the Tupperware, then returns it; the bag's easy opening and casual handling underline the conversational intimacy and the small domesticity that contrasts with the large policy subject.

Before: Sitting beside Andrea on the blanket, containing the Tupperware and napkins.

After: Carried by Andrea as she resumes walking and folds the blanket into it.
