The Cuteness Tactic

I see her out of the corner of my eye standing next to me. She is quietly waiting for me to acknowledge her as I finish typing an email for work on my phone. Then I hear, 'Hi' in the cutest yet most mischievous voice I have ever heard. I look over to see this face.

As if saying 'hi' with that cute little face is somehow going to change my answer from 'no', to 'sure you can eat that cough drop even though I've already told you no 3 times'. 

Sorry sweetness, your adorable factor won't alter my decision here. I can't make any promises of refusal if you ask me for cookies though. For some reason your cuteness usually overrides me on that one.
