A. “Mommy/Daddy, I got something in my hair.” It was with a sense of trepidation that I looked up from my book.
There was pink bubblegum in the baby fine hair. What had once been a single wad had been smeared and tangled by careless fingers into something out of a nightmare. The gum was everywhere, all the way down to the scalp.

It fit perfectly, showing that someone was willing to pay for quality even when hazing the agent nobody wanted around.
