Ekaterina: How is her piano practice coming along?
Zuria: Good. She’s nearly mastered the Rachmaninov.
Ekaterina: Amazing. You don’t think there’s an element of anthropomorphism in this?
Zuria: Anthro what?
Ekaterina: You know, ascribing human characteristics to a god, or an animal. You talk to her, right?
Zuria: And she answers.
Ekaterina: Hmm. And I suppose she helps cook dinner?
Zuria: Oh, sometimes. She makes suggestions.
Ekaterina: But never pork?
Zuria: Oh no. She’s vegan.
