** There's also the fact that since Harry impersonates an officer, Kevin is initially convinced the local police are corrupt. The gold tooth would tip off any smart person that something wasn't right, and when they first try to rob the house, recognizing the distinctive voice would only confirm his suspicions.

* In the first movie, the scene where Kevin goes to the fake Santa and asks for his family back is comedy gold, but imagine yourself in the Santa's position; a kid all on his own comes up to you and asks for his ''entire'' family back. Without the context that he was left behind on a family trip, you'd probably assume that he had suffered some unbelievable tragedy that killed every member of his family but him. Though given that the Santa doesn't seem particularly taken aback and goes back to cursing out his car once Kevin leaves, he probably took a less morbid interpretation of Kevin's wish.

* Buzz was able to get Kevin to think that Old Man Marley killed his entire family because Marley’s been estranged from his son (who refuses to visit him or let him see his grandchild) long before the McAllisters moved into the neighborhood - and since Buzz knows Kevin’s never seen anyone visit, it’d be easy to convince him to assume the worst just for a laugh.

* In the first film, Kevin is traumatized by the over-the-top gun violence in ''Angels With Filthy Souls''. Little did he know that a year later, he would be staring down the barrel of a ''real'' gun.

** Of course, if Marv did keep doing this as some kind of calling card, it would've led them to get nailed by the cops eventually. If Marv had been a little more wise, he would changed the ways he covered up evidence.




to:

* The MallSanta Kevin encounters might have also provided him with another lesson: don't let your misfortunes consume you. Despite his less-than-ideal situation, the dude still tries to be nice to Kevin and even gives him some Tic Tacs. Kevin would take this lesson to heart and be a little more patient.

** Imagine how ''they'd'' have reacted if they'd seen ''her''. Especially since Harry had met her in the first film when he was posing as a cop, and would probably have recognised her as Kevin's mother. He'd probably have decided to shoot her before she could be a problem.

* Aside from being Christmas-themed, Kevin's family watching "Film/ItsAWonderfulLife" in either movies is surprisingly fitting when you remember its [[AnAesop moral]]. Both stories are about someone wishing for their life to be different, more-or-less. Just like George, he gets his wish, but quickly learns [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor it's not all its cracked up to be]]. Both stories are about a protagonist realizing they've taken their family and loved ones for granted, and ultimately rescinding their wish.

** Chickenpox while being more severe for adults still has quite low lethality and it usually concerns people with compromised immune systems both kids and adults. Shingles (which is reccurence of virus causing chickenpox) can cause [[''EyeScream blindness'']] and other nasty stuff however.
