Add in more disparate biology -
- Why does your kid keep crying and biting me?/He's teething, give him this toy to chew on.
- Why does the youngling wave its arms around and make that godawful noise?/She wants to be picked up.
- Get this kid off me!/Aww, he thinks you're his safe person! [Takes pictures while alien looks affronted at having a kid clinging to them like an octupus]
- Is your offspring defective?/Nooo...why do you ask?/Well, its been four hours and he's still not walking...
