He sort of owned you, and, and you usen't be able t get a job or anything, like he usen't even pay or nothing and you had to, sometimes you had to buy your wives and then that meant you owned them'.

Conor Kenneally: `Okay, and so where does `Mother's Day' come into that:'

C.T. - Well, like, I think some Mothers rebelled'.
