   I often crack Mrs Acilius up when she asks for a pill, a piece of candy, or some other small thing to eat. She’ll open her mouth, I’ll place it on her tongue, and as I do so I’ll say “body of Christ.” This is perhaps naughty of me- as a Quaker, Mrs A isn’t supposed to laugh at other religious groups. So making fun of groups that, unlike the Quakers, have Eucharistic rituals is a no-no, and I shouldn’t tempt her with that.

   a. Aren’t you a Quaker too?

   b. “she asks for a pill, a piece of candy, or some other small thing to eat. She’ll open her mouth, I’ll place it on her tongue”

   WOW does she have you whipped! And I thought I had Mr. Cymast trained. Er, partially trained.

   a. Not technically. Just a fellow traveler.

   b. I wouldn’t consider that a sign of whippedness. Actually, I was concerned about mentioning it because I thought that without further context it might sound the opposite way, leaving the false impression that she’s overly submissive.

   a. Give it time. It’s only been . . 2 years?

   b. If you’re hand-feeding her, she’s quite clearly the dominant one. “Peel me a grape” comes to mind.
