Dear old dad kept a very responsible, good upper middle management job in Corporate for the GM truck and bus group for decades. They all seemed to love him, had no clue what went on behind the scenes, and we had to play the perfect happy little family to the outside world. Which made me want to puke as a teenager, and I started to push my luck in making little cryptic comments to people.

Kim Jong Un has nothing over dad in the psycho dictator department.
