- In addition to "Oh fuuudge" which he heard from his old man, Ralphie also says "Son of a bitch" when he's disappointed over his decoder ring. This is something else he is repeating, since his father does say it earlier in the movie in front of the family.
- Ralphie tells just about every adult in the film that he wants a Red Ryder BB Gun except his father, but it's his father who buys it for him. In spite of his surly and standoffish personality, he does know his son.
- While Ralphie's mother may ask where Ralphie heard "that word" from, you'll notice the Old Man doesn't. Surely he knows damn well where Ralphie heard it. He even chuckles after telling Ralphie to go back to the car.
