Okay then ;---p

Seriously, I've worked with Italian men who were CONSTANTLY on the phone to
Mama, you could hear the guys saying, "But Mama...!!!" all the time...I've
also known a few Italian Chicawgo cops who in time of need (divorce,
girlfriend troubles, bad hangovers...) would run back to Mama's for succor.

Very close - knit, they are :-)
