Let's say your siblings are doing something they aren't supposed to be doing, but you aren't joining in. For example, let's say your brothers are playing with the ball in the house. And at first you might even remind them they've been told not to.
Would you be the kind of sibling, to remind them?
Or would you have been the sort to mind your own business and get as far away from trouble as you can, before punishment is dealt out?

Let's say they throw the ball into the trash can several times without incident. Let's say there's no one there to catch you, or your siblings. So at the last minute you grab the ball, make the shot...
And of course you're the one who the ball loses control under, it goes flying out of the room, and it breaks something belonging to your parents. Something they will certainly miss if you just hide it. Perhaps a table, an ugly vase, or a glass figurine.

I'm assuming that most of us would try to glue it together, to try and hide it. I certainly would. I did actually glue a coffee table once, but not wit a ball, and the parents never found out about that.
Were you the type of child who would just face the music?
Might your parents be the type to forgo the spanking for a lesser punishment, if you did just come clean?

But let's say you do what I would have done and try to hide it? Let's say your parents find out it's broken anyway.
Would you tell on your siblings?
Would they tell on you?
Or would you all cover for each other?
How far would that cover go, if your parents suspect something?

Let's say your parents somehow figure out it was you that broke it.
Before your spanking, would you tell them that your siblings were also playing ball in the house?

If your parents are anything like mine, that wouldn't get you out of the spanking. So what would be the point of telling on your siblings in that situation?

Have you any examples of similar situations, where others were misbehaving, but you were the one who got caught, after you had held up until the last moment?
