Oh my! Just had to comment on your last sentence - Dad was an only child, so raising the four of us was sometimes frustrating for him.
"But Dad, I didn't do it! I think Fred did it, it wasn't me!"
"By now, I don't care who actually did it, you're all in trouble. WHen I was a kid, I couldn't say 'but mom, the bulldog climbed up onto the counter, opened the cookie jar and ate those cookies' because there was only me."
"But Dad, I really didn't do it!"
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr"
