Are you trying to manipulate me?

Are you trying to manipulate me?
I stared into her face. What she did next annoyed me...
She smiled.
She was manipulating me, I think.
"I'm a lot older than you."
I muttered under my breath
"And I've got more life and work experience."
But I didn't stand a chance.
I'd just been manipulated.
And worse still.
It'd happened literally 5 mins before. And earlier today. And yesterday.
I accepted defeat. Again.
Sometimes you'll come across someone that's always going to win.
Even though she's only 8 months old.
