the way I understand it


Explanation:
according to Concise Oxford Dictionary:

bags (or bags I) Brit.
informal
a child's expression used to make a claim to something.

and according to English Slang Dictionary:

bags
1. to claim as one's own due to being the first to make such a claim:"Bags I go first"
أعتقد أن أنسب ترجمة لها هنا :
أتريد أن تقودها؟ إنها سيارتي.

حيث يطلب الأول قيادة السيارة بطريقة صبيانية::

أنا من سيقود

I think this is the meaning.
