"My Mother-In-Law Picked My First Strawberry"
"I have been very carefully watching my first ever strawberry that I grew from seed. My mother-in-law was watching my kiddo this afternoon and picked it early and ate it. I am irrationally upset. I know there will be others soon but I had really been looking forward to enjoying the literal fruits of my labor."
Yes, but the assailants will describe it as 'accidental maliciousness' and 'deliberate carelessness.' To them, changing the meaning victimizes them, thus removing all culpability.
If that wasn't in Sun Tzu's 'Art of War'...it should have been.
