She always gets her way, one way or the other

Yesterday, Cort took Helen to the grocery store with him.

Upon arrival, she got down on her hands and knees on the floor of the grocery store. Cort told her to get up. This led to arguing, because of course she questioned why. He told her that the floor was dirty, and finally gave her an ultimatum requiring her to get up.

So she complied. Sort of. She crouched down with her hands poised about an inch from the floor. "Can I do this then?" she asked. Cort told her no. She asked why--again--and he told her because he said so.

So she stood up. But then she bent over and placed her hands on her knees. "Can I do this then?" she asked. Cort, exasperated, said sure.

And she proceeded to walk this way the entire time they were in the grocery store.
