I have caught myself saying the same thing, it makes the kids laugh now but they used to get all huffy and protective. Mine likes the sympathy and loves to pretend she can't do anything. We had to start a rule about her being carried b/c everyone would carry this kid. She also got out of all her chores at home and school, she got other kids to do it for her. Her teacher was so protective of her we had to deal with it at the Principal's level. She is a master manipulator with her big brown pitiful eyes.
