Liza: Reaches up and scratches her head. What’s that in my hair? Feels around experimentally. Is that a bandaid?

Jill: Turns, then gets up and comes to look. Starts laughing hysterically. That’s motherhood in a nutshell!

They begin attempting to disentangle the bandaid from Liza’s hair.

Liza: Wait!

Jill: You want me to take a picture?

They both giggle uncontrollably. Jill takes a picture, then a second picture. While Liza looks at the picture, Jill returns to her computer.

Liza: Mommy? I still want you to take the bandaid out of my hair.

They both resume laughing, hard. Approximately two minutes later, Jill successfully frees the bandaid from Liza’s hair.

Jill: Yup. Motherhood in a nutshell. It feels good to laugh, though, doesn’t it?
