Who is more manipulative

" I am just going to leave the room and not bother about the consequences". My sister was referring to her 18 month old twins. They have just gotten into the intricacies of sibling rivalry and learning everything from attention seeking to physical violence.

What I observed is the gender variant manipulative scheme they seemed to use. From my observations, I conclude - The female of the species wins. I will allow you guys to make your own impressions given two situations.

1. Adhav

Technique used - Straight forward manipulation

Maya finds an interesting object at her reach, which has kept her occupied for more than ten minutes. A miniature Bailey's bottle that has not been uncapped. No harm object. Running in her mind now - Damn. This is even worse than one of those child protective locks.

Adhav wants to have that, so picks up the closest, quickest interestig object, a keychain, runs to his "chichi" and points to Maya. Lure her with this and get me that bottle. Good technique, but very straight forward.

2. Maya

technique used- Emotional manipulation

Maya desperately wants a small silver lamp that is on the kitchen counter, totally unreachable to her height and was refused to her by more than three people. After a while, the quietly playing Maya smiles at her Chichi in the kitchen. She then runs to the kitchen, and smiles her best, making her eyes shine and says 'Chichi...' in a recognizing and affectionate tone. I fall for the bait, pick her up and kiss her, still smiling she reaches for the lamp which is now in her access and now is not looking at me anymore!
