In her defense, she did admit to needing deprogramming; but the amount of deprogramming she needs is overwhelming and I doubt we will ever free her entirely from the shackles of Britney-think. Getting her out of Ohio is Step #1.
I think Brother is not actually a code-switcher so much as he is able to be so completely blank in a conversation that everyone may project onto him whatever they wish to think. That is more like mirroring than code-switching, and says to me that he is actually less flexible than you think.
