The above submission results in the following:

```
File "reddit/objects.py", line 486, in _fetch_morecomments
tmp = self._comments_by_id[comment.parent_id].replies
KeyError: u't1_c3pv5gy'
```

Upon initial inspection, it is in fact the case that we fetch the child before its parent, though we do eventually fetch its parent. However, this submission also results in fetching the same comment more than once which is unexpected. Additional investigation is needed to learn why this occurs.
