Maybe it Should Have Been Named "Marsupial Love"

So about this quilting class. I went yesterday and one of the other (maturer) students was acting... odd. She was odd at the first class, but this time she seemed to be both odd and pharmacologically enhanced in some way (Valium? Oxycontin?). So after listening to her talk incoherently about her new sewing machine (and TO her new sewing machine... the built-in scissors! the computer screen! the needle settings!) for most of the class, I am sitting across from her dutifully attempting to sew PRECISELY 1/4 inch seams into looooong strips of fabric. She looks up at me and says, "My little boy is getting frisky." I, um... your, um... um... what? "My little boy is getting frisky." So I give her my best "your particular brand of crazy is making me uncomfortable" look and say, "I don't understand what you mean." So she turns her back to me and sits there. Well, this clears it right up. Finally she says, "Don't you see it?" And then I do. I see something inside her shirt moving. I ask, "What IS that?" And she pulls out what looks very much like a rodent to me, but I have since been informed is a marsupial, thank you very much. More precisely, a sugar glider. It is in her shirt (and I can only assume has been in her shirt... doing what?... nursing?... for the past 2 hours) so that it becomes more friendly. I am quite sure I do not need or want to know any more about her friendly, bra-dwelling rodent/marsupial, but she's not done. Next, she starts talking about the female she has at home who is pregnant with twins (at this point I realize I am jealous of a rodent/marsupial) and how after this pregnancy, she'll have to separate her and her mate because her body needs a break from pregnancy. And finally the conversation (if you can call it that... one person talking, one sewing fast enough to make the machine hover ever so slightly over the table) turns to the sexual practices of her pets and how she's walked in on their rodent (sorry, marsupial) love three times. Oh my gawd.

So here is my question. Can marsupials have rabies, because I am starting to wonder of perhaps I should take precautions next week to ensure she doesn't bite me?
