Nate and being sick

Nate has been sick all weekend. He was up during the night on Thursday coughing and wheezing. By Friday morning, his nose was running full force, but at least the wheeziness had stopped. But, now on Sunday, he has been complaining that his teeth hurt. New molars? Anyways, that's not the funny part. I have a bag of emergency M&Ms in my office and Nate asked if he could have some. I told him not right now. He gets this so serious sad look and said, "but, it will make my teeth feel better." He knows which cards to play early, doesn't he?
