Babies DO fake cry: Infants pretend to be distressed to get attention

Indeed, this isn't news.

Our friends have a kid who is cute but rather spoilt in terms of attention as he learnt he can play them and ruthlessly exploited this.

In a group gathering he started crying crocodile tears because he was told he wasn't allowed to watch a video on dad's iPad or something equally trivial. It wasn't even good acting, so in unison we all started fake crying too. Immediately he stopped crying and indignantly shouted "I crying".
