They aren't all like that, really they're not. Some of them you can't say boo to without them bursting into tears (or at least "Yes Dears"), and that's not any better. I didn't like being thrust into the role of Imperious Bitch just for asking for help around the house...I'm not the sort of person who gets off on that sort of thing. My ex-boyfriend is a dear, but I hope that he someday finds a person with a really big riding crop and the attitude to use it.
