Maybe it was UNCLE FRANK!!

The Case of Uncle Frank:

Frank the cheapskate was there from the beginning. He is always looking for a way to save a dime, and Frank was the one who bailed on paying for the $122.50 pizza ordered for the whole McCallister clan, leaving his brother-in-law with the whole bill. Even on the airplane to France, Frank tries to STEAL crystal silver wear from American Airlines. Now I know form experience that American Airlines doesn't mind if you take the American Way Magazine "in the seat pocket in front of you," but crystal stem wear? Pretty sure American is counting every crystal piece they own right now.

The case for Frank is that Frank had a little Coca Cola spilt on him from Buzz and Kevin's dispute on who ate Kevin's Cheese Pizza. Frank's temper came out and made a point to raise his voice and practically scream, "LOOK WHAT YOU DID, YOU LITTLE JERK!" This prompted the entire family to basically freeze and watch. Everyone's eyes on Kevin and his mom really put the pressure on Mrs. McCalitster reaction, the overwhelming pressure from all the family's judging eyes forced her to set an example for her and her son by showing she is a strong and strict mother who disciplines her children.

For if Frank wouldn't have silenced the crowd with his baritone voice then Mrs. McCalister wouldn't have had to put Kevin upstairs in the first place. Perhaps things could have been different that Christmas. What do you think?
