Nature, explaining to The Mother, how things are going to work between her & The Child.
Nature
"You have sort of a symbiotic relationship at first, but then eventually The Child becomes independent, and eventually goes through the same process herself and she becomes The Mother."
The Mother
"Sounds good, sounds good. So, uh, how do I spawn this thing? Do I like, divide or something? And how do we manifest the symbiosis, exchange enzymes for a few years or something?"
Nature
"Ok. So this is how it works. She grows inside you for like nine months."
The Mother
"Inside me? Like inside me where?"
Nature
"Uhh around your abdominal region."
The Mother
"How does she get out?"
Nature
"Yes I was getting to that. You go through a process called "labor" which concludes with her exit from your body."
The Mother
"Are you serious? Alright, well I guess it gets better after that. Then what?"
Nature
"Then, now within her own small body, she begins to grow and mature. She will demand your attention as she does so, requiring constant training and disciplining, while also latching onto you, physically, periodically for sustenance. But that part only last a couple of years."
The Mother
"Oh thank god. And then what, I guess I get to demand her attention and care for a couple of years?
Nature
"No no, I meant the *physical sustenance* part only last a couple of years. You'll still have to train, discipline, and materially provide for her for the next 30 years or so."
The Mother
"You know, this is sounding more like a parasitic relationship than a symbiotic one."
Nature
"Well if you want to get *technical* I guess..."
The Mother
"No this is bullshit. Figure something else out, I'm not going along with this."
Nature
"But there's more!"
The Mother
"More for me?"
Nature
"Yes!"
The Mother
"This better be good."
Nature
"It is! You see, in spite of all this giving, all of this providing, all of this sacrificing that you, as The Mother will endure, you will actually feel as happy and fulfilled as The Child herself while you're doing it, because, *you will absolutely love her*."
