Maybe I'm just seeing their annoying qualities as
the result of being spoiled. Whatever their cause,
they're annoying. They look like they're spoiled.

I know of Paula Deen's story what is written on
the Internet. It's curiously monolithic in form, and
light on details. She got divorced, started a lunch-bag
"catering" business, and made her sons deliver the food
because she was agoraphobic. We don't know what their
economic conditions were before the divorce; it doesn't
say why she started the business - because she was broke or
because she was bored or because she was megalomaniacally
entrepreneurial...

Is there more? And who's saying they work hard at the
restaurant? Them? Her? Their publicist?
