3. Aunt Bee is going to have a hissy fit.

Barney will blame Opie.

7. No, Andy always blamed Opie.

IIRC, it was pretty regular that Andy would believe the worst about Opie right off the bat, only to be enlightened later and apologize.

8. Except when Opie shot the mother bird with his BB gun.

Andy was right to chastise Opie about this.

9. Yes, it was as regular as Lucy trying to get into one of Ricky's shows!

My favorite was when Opie was, by Andy's estimation, behaving in a greedy manner... when all the while he was collecting money to buy a coat for a little girl in his class that didn't have one.
