      It’s just nuts that this pre-school level deflection works so well and so reliably.

      If you’re doing something naughty just quickly accuse someone else of doing the same thing so any accusations directed at you look like retaliations.

      Things just seemed so responsible and grown up just a decade ago.

    In addiction recovery there is a saying about pointing fingers

    Every time you point with one finger, you usually have three pointing back at you.

      And one in your pocket because that asshole at the diner put pickles on your burger when you went out of your way to say ‘no pickles, please’!
