Ooh! Were the 'Smothers Brothers,' comedians and musicians, on your radar ever? ... Well, they're nothing compared to to smothering mothering eh?!... And I echo Andrea's insightful comment. Profundity in three lines here! :) gw

Think of the bright side; unlike the God of the Middle East, few mothers drown children who do not meet their expectations! Aloha! Rico
