ORIGINAL: Padriag
My definition of a "brat" is a submissive who tends towards willful disobedience, constantly pushed boundaries, needs to be "forced" or coerced into obedience frequently, etc.
Asking questions is not being bratty in my book.
Being playful is not being bratty in my book.
Asking "why" generally isn't a problem provided a) if on occasion I answer "because I said so" she is able to accept that and obey without further question, and b) her asking "why" doesn't start sounding like a bad Animaniacs cartoon with every statement or instruction being met with another "whyyyyy?"
This is very much the answer that I would have given, had I said it first. My only addition would be to state that I think there would be more questions in the beginning of a dynamic. After all, there is a learning phase that two (or more) people go through. The 'what kind of cake' question is a perfect example. Earlier on, it's completely understandable that a sub might not know the D types preference, so asking what kind of cake is a person's favorite, makes a lot of sense.
Skip ahead a significant amount of time. Whatever length you would consider past the getting to know you phase. Wouldn't you probably know if your Dominant preferred chocolate over red velvet? This might just be Me, but I expect My sub to pay attention to some of these things and know the answers as to My likes and dislikes. If I want something other than My usual, I'll tell him so.
