!!Problem Child:
* Any Ben/Junior interaction. Especially when he comforts him at a SpoiledBrat's party after she forbids him to see her magic show.
* The reason that Junior beats the other little-leaguers up with the bat: [[BerserkButton they insulted Ben]].
* Ben is at the end of his rope with Junior and is all set to return him... Until he learns that he's been returned 30 times.
-->'''Little Ben Healy''': Flo, don't you see? We're doing what everybody else has done to this child; I mean, it's ''easy'' to give up on a kid.
-->'''Flo Healy''': Damn straight it is.
-->'''Little Ben Healy''': But isn't that what's wrong with the world today? I mean, everybody's looking for the easy way out; they're...they're, they're hoping that their problems will just go away? But, problems just don't go, Flo...you know? So the question before us is, what are we gonna with our little [[TitleDrop problem child?]] I'll tell you what we are going to do. Something that no one's ever done for him, ''ever'' before. We're gonna love him, Flo. Oh, yes; we're gonna love him when he's bad, we're gonna love him even harder when he gets worse, then one day, he's gonna crack, and say, "Hey, these folks really do love me! They ain't gonna quit on me! I don't have to be bad anymore. What the hey; I can be President of the United States!"
** Yeah, NarmCharm is in effect for that speech, but Ben turns out to be exactly right!
* When Beck kidnaps Flo and Junior, Ben is initially ecstatic. He opens a drawer and finds three drawings done by Junior when he enters his room: a three-headed dragon ([[JerkAss Big Ben]]), a hideous creature with a giant mouth ([[AlphaBitch Flo]]), and the last one a loving, normal human being ([[NiceGuy Ben]]). He also finds the dried prune that had belonged to his grandfather and that he had given to Junior as a symbol of the bond between them. Realizing that despite all his bratty behavior, Junior genuinely liked him the entire time, Ben snaps out of his HeroicBSOD and he goes to rescue Junior.
* Ben TakingTheBullet for Junior when Beck tries to kill him. [[PocketProtector The prune took it for him.]]

!!Problem Child 2:
* The intro shows Ben and Junior on their cross-country move and seemingly perfectly happy with each other the entire time. Wonderful depiction of a father and son who truly do love and enjoy each other.
* When they realize Ben and Annie are perfect for each other, Junior and Trixie finally become friends.
* Junior and Trixie making a wish for their parents to get together at the Love Rock. The ensuing SleepCute is precious.
%%* "That's my pal Trixie!"
%%* Two words: "Thanks, buddy."
