Diligence

Jane [spotting a package of gum on the counter, turns to Dad]: I want gum.

Dad: No, you can't have gum.

Jane [pauses, then looks back at Dad]: Daddy!

Dad: Yes?

Jane: I want gum!

Dad: No, you can't have gum.

Jane: [thinks, then in a sing-song voice followed with a big smile]: Daaaad-y!

And so forth.

Did she resort to eyelash fluttering in the end?

Did she get the gum?
