Mother Earth: And to you, Human, I shall give you great Endurance and a thick skin, remarkable mimicry and visual tracking skills, strong inner bones which heal back even stronger when broken, an omnivorous diet with acute palates and resistance to most poisons, a pack organization, skin-stealing skills and the ability to throw things with ease and accuracy using your upper limbs, so you shall reign the hot savannahs and deserts as the greatest pursuit predator ever. Also as primates you shall not be bound to mating seasons and with your strong self-healing instincts and great adaptability, you shall rise and be numerous as ever.

Mother Earth: What the everloving Big Bang, HUMAN PLEASE STOP IT’S TO YOUR OWN GOOD
Human: *crying* T A S T YYYY
Mother Earth: *concerned motherworld noises*

They immediately go along with the bit and start discussing it with their newborn child, while the baby just stares at us like 😮
