This troper's friend's little brother looked like he was four when he was almost eight, and took advantage of this fact for all it's worth. He never broke character either... Only his siblings didn't crack under his relentless cuteness.

A little boy I babysit breaks a bowl on the floor. *bats big blue eyes and smiles bashfully* "I sowwy Bebby. I bad boy. I love you!!"

Children being deliberately cute does not work on this troper. If they're just naturally cute, I'll fawn over them just like everyone else. The second they start acting cute for any reason, it instantly snaps from "Awww, cute kid" to "Most annoying thing EVER, stop that right now before I lose my temper!"

Although this troper is sixteen years old, she still does this. When talking to her parents, she uses a higher-pitched voice than when she's talking to friends, and she calls her parents "Daddy" and "Mama" when she wants something. Also, the only time she only actually calls her aunts and uncles "Aunt" and "Uncle" when she wants something. Same thing with her cousin (as in, he does this, too).

When my sister first started chorus, we would ask her to sing the songs she learned. Once she started singing, she would use a baby voice and lisp, bouncing around like a 3 year old. When she stopped, she would proceed to talk and act normally. "Twinkul Twinkul wittle star, how I wondeh wheh you aw..." "Stop that" "What is it? You didn't like my singing?" She still does that sometimes, she tells us that it's cute. It's annoying.

This Troper feels only a little shame for doing this.

This troper suspects this sort of thing is why her younger sister maintained the sort of mannerisms you'd expect from a three- or four-year-old, like assuming weird poses and babbling nonsense/making up gibberish words, up until her early teens.

This Troper has a little cousin, and whenever she wants something, she'll start smiling really big and laugh ang giggle and point at the thing she wants. If you fail to give it to her, she toddles over and gives you a big hug, still giggling. Its irresistible.

I was one of these, to an extent. I hated school as a small child, and after watching my classmates, I realized if I cried and said I missed my mommy, I would get to go home early. In retrospect, I was a wee bit of a manipulative bitch as a toddler. Perhaps it's why I am now immune to deliberate cuteness.

This troper's name is Samantha. Whenever her five-year-old sister wants something from her, she calls her, "Samanthy." If I resist, she goes back to chasing me with screwdrivers. You know, like her normal self.

Not a child, but a Deliberately Cute Dog: there's a running joke in this troper's family that his sister's corgi, dumb as a bag of rocks to all outward appearances, uses his powers of CutenessProximity and ObfuscatingStupidity to get everything he wants, all the time, and in fact is secretly the smartest member of the household. The kicker? The dog's name is Lex Luthor.

During work experience today I was watching over a bunch of seven-year-olds doing football based games. About five of them were holding footballs, and were instructed to pick someone who didn't have one to give their ball to. Most of the kids who wanted a ball started jumping about shouting "ME, ME!" but one of the boys just used PuppyDogEyes, said "pweeeeeease" and of course he was one of the ones who got the ball. He then proceeded to repeat this about three more times in the space of an hour in various different situations. It worked every time.

This Troper was friends with one of these. She was a 14-year-old girl who would act like a seven year old. Including some of the more annoying 7-year-old mannerisms

This Troper knew one of these back in elementary school. If the teacher was around, she was cute and bright and a total sweetheart. Teacher walks away? "GIVE ME THE BLOCKS! GIVE ME THE BLOOOOOOOCKS!!!" She turns into the EnfantTerrible. Oddly enough, she got along with the LittleMissSnarker that I was back in elementary school quite well (well, until middle school, when she transformed into TheLibby. But that's another story.)

This troper's niece will do this. It doesn't work, except for when we're playing tag and she's it. "Can I have hug?" ''Of course'' I give in.

This Troper's little brother, who is both AnnoyingYoungerSibling and the coolest younger sibling of anyone I know AT THE SAME TIME (well, cool as long as he's on my side...)! I can always tell he wants something from my parents when he starts pulling the cute act and talking in a high-pitched voice (heh, like to see him try once his voice changes). They, however, don't realize he's doing this- and as the baby, the kid gets almost whatever he wants. So, you know, being the good minion... I mean, BROTHER... he is, sometimes he'll agree to get stuff for me by doing that. (Yet somehow, it works less often....)

This troper's younger brother does it. He's thirteen now, but he has been doing it since he was about...two, three maybe? It doesn't work on me and at times I feel like I'm probably the only one who's aware of it. At one point, I was about ten and he was three, and I was visiting my dad and stepmom. (He lives with them.) I was crying because I'd gotten homesick and wanted to go home. When he saw that I was hogging his spotlight, he started crying. Now that he's thirteen, he's grown up into an Emo Teen.

Same Troper would try and give my friend the puppy dog eyes whenever I wanted him to do something for me. (I'm not manipulative or anything like that, we were just joking around for the most part.) Because he's got only sisters, he obviously didn't buy it. I think he's only ever cracked once.
