Ritual of the Stork 

When 2 parents love each other very much they seclude themselves in a room (normally a bedroom) and perform it in the Tunnel of Life. If the great stork accepts the ritual then in about 9 months a baby will enter the world through the Tunnel of Life.
You only exist because of the Ritual of the Stork.
