Well...
the 'kids' are, now, ages 35, 39, 41 and...deceased (would have been 42 - 
lupus).
They all had regular 'exposure' to religion, even though we were not a
'religious' family per se. They got too street-smart...too fast...but they 
were
aware of all the options going in. And my survival instincts tell me that a
certain edge, a keen awareness of one's surroundings (including cultural) are
necessary, so it wasn't in me to head that particular aspect of their 
development
off at the pass too much. They were never on-the-street, though - they simply
chose (several of them) to way-cool themselves into various kinds of trouble, 
for
which they've made amends (I hope). We're all very close, believe it or not, 
even
though I didn't spring forward to do the maternal tiger-mommy-thing when they
messed up. My oldest grandchild (that I'm aware of!) is eleven, and the 
youngest
is two (seven total). I hope I live long enough to extend my sympathies when 
my
own kids' little angels are turning the corner into obnoxioushood. 
Not-so-funny
thing is - I know that I made own my parents miserable from age twelve to
probably thirty (yes), and with very clear memory, I can get inside all the 
kids'
heads. A frightening place to be sometimes, and they hate it that I can do 
that.

Note - prior should have read:
Sandy - Happily Unclean, Uncivilized, and Untithed
(and meant purely in jest)
