Fabulous comment, Susan! Wow. I'm the same way. I love being fed my fries... "Great article, Dave!" "Man, you are so smart." etc. The key in the beginning is simply noticing this. Just become aware "Okay, they just fed me a fry and I loved it." Then eventually we become aware AND we let it go. No need for fries. As for your friend who only accepts fries, just keep staying present. They'll come to appreciate that.
