To illustrate how fearful her mother was, she revealed that her mother would put bells on doors so that they rang each time someone opened a door. To top it off, her mother would even lock her car in the garage just to be safe.
But as protective as she was of her belongings, she was equally passionate about the safety and well-being of her children. "I bet she was pretty," interjected her mother, and her daughter emphasized how beautiful she was.

In addition to being a protective mother, she was also the best person to talk to. She gave the best advice and was a great listener. One of her other interesting quirks was hiding everything.
