I would say they are - they are the thing that stands between you and all sorts of very unpleasant outcomes - very like your mother.
- CWuestefeld 3y agoOh yeah, I forgot about the fact that my father never stood between me and many unpleasant outcomes. I guess the only weird thing is that I don't refer to my seatbelt and bike helmet as "she".
