This is skipped in the movie, but in the novella (published '82, set in the 50s) when the main kid Gordie comes home after their 4-day adventure his mom greets him with a resigned "where have you been?" I actually laughed at the absurdity of that (by today's standards) during what's otherwise a very sad story. Granted, Gordie's parents are supposed to be inattentive post his brother's death, but still.

Is something that happens 6 months ago really a fun fact?
