[AnAmericanMother]

I may be the only Episcopalian kid ever who received a copy of the Westminster Catechism for my confirmation.

(I had stubborn, Scotch Presby maternal grandparents who never really accepted my mom's lateral arabesque into the ECUSA. Of course, given her upbringing, SHE ain't exactly thrilled that we have Gone Over to Rome.)

[Tax-chick]

My mom's from Northern Ireland! She said, "I always knew you'd do something weird ... at least your grandpop is in his grave!"

Sometimes she teases me about still being a Calvinist in my heart :-).
