Ralphie Parker

Boy, this kid sure goes through a lot over the course of A Christmas Story. He gets teased by Scut Farkus and then beats up Scut Farkus. He taunts Flick and then abandons him when his tongue gets stuck to a pole. He wants to meet Santa and then is rendered speechless upon his sight. He says the "F, dash, dash, dash" word and then gets soap in his mouth. He imagines himself as blind and as a cowboy. And he also wears pink bunny pajamas. But above all else, he wants a Red Ryder BB Gun (even though he'll shoot his eye out). And then finally he gets it at the end of the movie, sleeping with it in his bed. Daddy didn't kill Ralphie!
