taking advantage

We all have been guilty of milking sympathy when a wound isn't so bad.  

Children especially seem to like to keep crying when it doesn't really hurt anymore just because they're getting some attention. 

But I'll admit, that sometimes when Gracie gets hurt and she comes crying to me, I'll be the one who's milking it just so that she'll keep cuddling with me, even though she and I both know she's not hurt anymore.  I just want more snuggles.  

I think I just accidently admitted that I like it when my daughter gets (mildly) hurt.
