Perhaps I should have made this clear in my initial post, but it wasn't just that she asked permission to eat. That was just one example of her behavior. My son was full of stories that entire year about her ass-kissing personality. She once ran tattling on him about a minor incident--he had hit her on the head with his lunchbox by accident and she insisted he had done it on purpose-- and got him sent to the principal's office. Kids, just like adults, can just have unpleasant personalities. Although in the case of kids, sometimes the personality traits are outgrown. I think I myself had somewhat of an unpleasant personality as a child -- I could be very bossy and I was the ringleader in the teasing of a neighborhood child. And I did just tell the child "Yes."

I suppose that CPS should have been banging down the door of Harriet's house accusing her parents of abuse when in reality they most likely were bringing her up to think of herself as a little princess.
