Some people should not be allowed to have children.

My mom is an pretty religious woman who rarely, if ever, misses a Mass or a Holy Day Service. She is a firm believer that God takes care of us and she will tell you that each of her six children have an overworked yet underpaid guardian angel.

Oh, she might say a prayer to help but she made damned sure we got proper medical care for whatever ailed us, even if that medical care was her slapping a butterfly bandage on a wound that probably needed a stitch or two...
