Charlie has developed Guilt Tripping and Sneakiness! All in the course of a single cold.

C: (rubs face and eyes. Rub rub rub)
M: oh, no, your face is all red! Say goodbye to your hand for now (tucks hand into jammies, puts ointment on face).
C: (pushes hand thru jammy fabric toward mouth) Mom, I'm trying to suck my fingers! I need to soothe myself! No, (pwah!) I scorn your pacifier, I should be sucking on my hand! Cmon pleeeze? Waah! (Plaintive look) waah.Mean mommy.*
M: oh, ok, you can have your hand back but no rubbing! (Returns hand to service)
C: nom nom nom! (Chews hand briefly)
M: (turns back)
C: rub rub rub! Rub rub!

*ok strictly speaking he didn't say all this, but it was clearly implied
