Story[]
Little Miss Prim/Madame Collet-Monté has very good manners. She is very good with proper etiquette and knows what's right and wrong.
One morning, she said to herself that sometimes one should know how to invite people even if they aren't well mannered, and with her proper appearance and attitude, went over to see Mr. Chatterbox. Naturally, he goes on and on talking for two hours until Little Miss Prim found her voice and told him that sometimes he must stop talking and listen to what others say, leaving him bewildered.
A similar thing goes with Little Miss Greedy when she tells her that one hundred and sixty six sausages is way too much to eat, and that the maximum is six sausages. This causes Little Miss Greedy to lose her appetite.
Mr. Chatterbox and Little Miss Greedy took her advice relatively well... too well. The next day, they go to see Little Miss Prim and upon opening her door, she is horrified to see that the two of them have literally taped their mouths shut with plasters.
She asks what happened to them, with the only response given being the two of them shaking their heads constantly. Eventually, she realised that they took her advice too seriously and decides to give them some biscuits for them to forget her advice. Upon seeing the biscuits, they remove the plasters and ask her politely if they can have some. They break the biscuits with knives and forks, and this causes Little Miss Prim to giggle and say that sometimes people can eat using their fingers.

Trivia[]
- She is the only thin extended oval shaped Little Miss.
- She appeared in a set of Little Miss stickers in 1996, and also on the cover of an art set.
- She and Little Miss Brilliant are the only France-exclusive characters to have speaking roles in any of the Mr. Men and Little Miss episodes. The rest of the France-exclusive characters either did not appear or just made cameo appearances.
- Albeit, she had two speaking roles (one more than Little Miss Brilliant): Mr. Daydream Talks to the Stars and Mr. Cheerful Doffs His Hat. She had a major supporting role in the latter, while she had a more somewhat minor speaking role in the former.
- When the French lineup got updated to feature new covers in 2007, both she and Little Miss Show-Off got removed entirely, making them the only two characters to have ever been permanently removed from the English or French lineups.
- This is probably due to the scene involving Mr. Chatterbox and Little Miss Greedy having their mouths taped shut, though this would be a strange reason as Mr. Brawler is still in in the lineup despite the violent and destructive nature of his character.
