Ooh... from the line "that’s they only way you and your kami know to deal with the world" (which as a typo, by the way) I thought Mrs. Watanabe might actually have had experience with the kami, since otherwise a) how would she know how the kami deal with the world? and b) why would she speak of the kami as though they objectively exist? But with her fear of being cursed, I'm sure she has.

Though she is right about how Tamao deals with the world.
