I wonder if thats true? Couldn't some things be the same type, with the same outcome?
A teen might leave the milk out over night just to say the mother didn't put it away no everyone has no milk for breakfast. What can Mom say? She knows she didn't do it but the kids aren't fesssing up.
An adult might make plans saying they included the "mom/intended" but when she isn't there, it looks like she didn't care to join them..Am I off base?
