That's the issue. The minute someone knows she can get whatever by calling Mom or Dad, a request, a meal, a lift in her Mercedes driven by her chauffeur, you'll never know how nice she truly is. That is my point.

Compare with someone who worked hard and paid every cent for his car and see what he does with his car - send people home as a friendly gasture - then you can tell the person's true character.
