Ours always ended with "Don't tell your mom.... It's not that bad!"

Had you told your mom the damage she did, and then the damage your dad did when he got home and she told him about your wayward ways, would have been far worse than anything another kid or 10 could inflict upon you. We learned right quick not to run to mama...she wasn't having none of that BS.

My older sister and an uncle our age dumped a bucket of roofing tar on me when I was about 5 and our grandmother wore my arse out for letting them. Never mind they were 4-5 years older than me.....
