1) about praising each other--> both become happy;
Your argument is possible, but i can't find it definitely.
So more observations can be needed, I think.

2) The issue that she likes being called Mother Barry;
In my center, nearly everbody don't call her Mother B.
Only they call her SB.
But John Jun calls her Mother Barry sometimes.
So, this issue should be obeserved more.
