Skit 13: Parenthood

[protosshaze]

I got to see a baby once. It was very small, and they said I could be the godmother.

I heard that you have to be married first before you have a baby. Why is that? What happens if you aren't married first? Asbel isn't married... But then, I'm not a baby. Are there different rules if the child is older?

[Have a grouchy robot.]

You don't have to. Some people just want to make things needlessly complicated.

[protosshaze]

Oh? So you don't have to get married.

[whistles_the_blues]

There's no real rule that says you can't, people have been having babies before marriage was even a thing.

[protosshaze]

In the secret base.

[whistles_the_blues]

Secret base?

[protosshaze]

Where the babies come from.

[whistles_the_blues]

...What?

[protosshaze]

Isn't that amazing? There's a secret base just for babies!

[whistles_the_blues]

I guess? There's a secret base for babies? Where did you hear that?

[protosshaze]

The person calling them beansprouts told me.

[whistles_the_blues]

Right.

[Okay. He doesn't buy that for a second.]

What else did they say?

[protosshaze]

It was a natural place, so maybe in a cave or a tree.

[whistles_the_blues]

So there's a cave or tree... Or something that babies hideout in?

For some reason I doubt that, but it would be interesting to see.

[protosshaze]

But where else would they come from?

[whistles_the_blues]

[Okay... He wasn't prepared to answer this question.]

Maybe they're built?

[protosshaze]

They're like us?

[whistles_the_blues]

Ye-No. Kind of. Actually, forget I said anything.

[protosshaze]

Why? Did you say something bad?

[whistles_the_blues]

No, it's just complicated. They all hang out in a secret base, that's simpler.

[protosshaze]

Oh... Okay.

[whistles_the_blues]

Maybe I'll explain it to you later.
