7. The McCallister Kids Are Bad At Math

A tragic number of coincidences lead to Kevin being left behind, with the main culprit being that really annoying kid neighbour who come's along and is accidentally counted in Kevin€™s place. A detail that€™s ridiculously easy to miss is that even if he hadn€™t arrived, Kevin€™s big sister Megan would have screwed up the headcount anyway; she accidentally counts herself twice outside the van. Buzz isn€™t much better with numbers, because later when he and Megan are talking about Kevin€™s situation he lists three reasons why nothing bad will happen, which he lists in the following order: A, two and D. It€™s entirely possible that none of the McCallister children will be accountants when they grow up.
