A single-panel comic set inside a car. A blonde woman drives in the front seat while a brown-haired child sits behind her. The child says, 'Mom, you can't pull over every nine minutes to make me use the bathroom! It won't make you a good mother!' The mother replies, 'Well, maybe you should've thought of that BEFORE my nervous breakdown!' The joke flips the usual parent-child dynamic, framing the mother as the one who has lost control. Votey: a crude doodle of a woman's face with a strained, manic expression, with a speech bubble reading 'My little darling.'
