Where Do You Come From, Where Do You Go?
-updated version

Parent-frogs and a strange tendency; they wish for their offspring to be their exact replica. They work hard to ensure an environment conducive to cloning. After years of nurturing, the grown tadpoles are prepared to invoke on a journey to different puddles. At some point, a young frog finds a puddle to call home, and settles there. This puddle does not always conform to their parent's expectations.

There are a few different plans of action a young frog can chose from, if their new home runs the risk of their parent's disapproval. The first, and perhaps the easiest, is to abide by the old saying, "what they don't know can't hurt them." Another approach is talking openly and honestly about the young frog's choice of life-style. This of course, will be the most successful when there is a good relationship between all involved, based on mutual trust and respect. There is no clear solution; the young frog needs to weigh the circumstances, calculate possible outcomes (sounds like statistics class), make a decision and live with it.

Sooner or later, the maturing frog will take a leave of absence from their home, and return to their parent’s puddle for an extended period of time. This can be quite frustrating for the young frog, who has grown accustomed to their own puddle, and is no longer comfortable in their old one. Suffocation is just one emotion the young frog may experience, feeling as if their life is being dictated by the same forces that motivated them to move away in search of a new puddle.

There does not seem to be an easy solution to this dilemma. For the sake of a quiet puddle, the young frog will probably keep their feelings inside, counting the days till they return to their puddle, and to the lifestyle they hold so dear.
