She isn’t demanding more laws. Pat her on the head and say have a nice day,

And then look up the thread about the word nice.

I can’t fine old threads so I will post the older but better descriptive meaning for her.

Word History of NICE
The English word nice came from an Old French word with the same spelling that meant ‘foolish.’ This Old French word came in turn from a Latin word nescius that meant ‘ignorant.’ At first, English nice meant ‘foolish’ or ‘frivolous.’ Later it came to mean ‘finicky’ or ‘fussy.’ Not until the 1700s did nice come to mean ‘pleasing’ or ‘pleasant.’
