But parent is not the actual object, it's a *mailbox* of that object,

I think in general you should strive to achieve this syntax:

"subject.method(object);"

Who are you asking to do the "send"? Not "parent", so parent is not
subject for "send", it is subject for "receive":

"Subject, do method using object!".

I look at it as:

"pipe which I have named 'parent' to help me remember who is at the other end, please send this data to your other end"

In any case, I get your point, and I think we can probably move on from this. Subjectivity is never resolvable :)
