One convert at a time

There is a certain streak of fatalism in Slavic males that if it is their time to die, they will die anyway.  So they drink in excess, drive like fools, and of course, don't wear seatbelts.

Two of Andrei's friends, husband and wife,  were in a terrible accident, rolled and demolished their car. . . and are unhurt because they were wearing their seatbelts.

Andrei is now a believer, at least on the highway, and was nagging his mother to buckle up.
