Thanks as always to Rosemary Zwick for this food funny:

Part of my job as a public-health nurse is teaching new parents how to
care for their infants. As I was demonstrating how to wrap a newborn, a
young couple turned to me and said, "You mean we should wrap the baby
like an egg roll?"

"Yes," I replied, "That is a good analogy."

"I don't know how to make egg rolls," another mother said anxiously.
"Can I wrap my baby like a burrito?"
