My immediate thought regarding the "side branch #1" version is not
wanting to have to do the math (even though it's a simple n+1)

"Math is hard, let's go shopping".

But I think even barbie could do the "add one" thing. That said, I
think the current thing is already more than good enough, and I don't
think it's at all confusing to talk about "parent #2". In fact, I
think it's more obvious than "side branch #1".

I think Jacob is correct to point out that mice are even dumber than
Barbie and cannot do the "add one" thing, so let's leave the output as is.

Thanks for an amusing response.
