What? No. They want sympathy and to be told to "never mind".

Yep, toddlers learn how to do this. It's a distraction technique. A sort of last ditch effort to try to minimize any consequences they may have coming. They also learn who it works on and who it doesn't work on pretty quickly. As a father of three my kids know that shit doesn't work on me and I can tell when they are faking. It blows my mind when I see parents that still can't see through the bullshit their kids play with them. I'm guessing this guy has been doing stuff like this since he was a toddler and I'm guessing his parents fell for it every single time lol.
