* Among the mean girls that make fun of Vada early in the film, there's one girl called Judy who doesn't join in and invites Vada to come to the movies sometime. The other two walk off continuing their teasing, but Judy hangs back to make an apologetic face. In the ending scene, we see that they have become friends, and Vada's narration says they'll be in the same home room together.

* Vada decides to join a writing class to be close to her favorite teacher, Mr. Bixler, over the summer. What she doesn't know is that the writing class is for adults but instead of them kicking her out for being a kid, everyone welcomes her openly and treat her kindly. After Thomas J's death, Vada is reluctant to go to the class but having a good talk with Shelly, Harry, and Thomas J's mother, she returns to the class and everyone is happy to see her and even hugs her.
** The poem she reads on the last day of class also counts as this and a TearJerker. It shows both how far Vada has come as a writer and as a person with her acceptance of the changes around her from her father marrying Shelly to the death of Thomas J.

* In the sequel, Vada is searching for information about her mother for a school assignment and is terrified when one of her mother's friends gets the name of her father wrong. She becomes nervous that Harry might not be her father and visits her mother's ex-husband to get the truth from him. He reassures her that while he would have been thrilled to be her father, Harry is the one who most certainly is her father.
* The end of the sequel is a nice big ball of heartwarming in contrast to the bittersweet nature of the first film. Vada is reassured that Harry is and always has been her father as well as really getting to know the type of person her mother was, Phil and Rose are officially engaged, Nick admits his feelings for Vada, and Vada's baby brother is born. Oh, and she got an A on her assignment.
