But other problems face Ralphie before Christmas, like accidentally uttering “Oh Fudge” (except he didn’t say fudge) in front of his Old Man, resulting in his mouth being washed out with soap.

Ralphie writes a paper for school about wanting the BB gun, dreaming of the good grade he’ll get on it, but instead gets a C+ on the paper. At the bottom of the paper, his teacher writes “You’ll shoot your eye out”.

Ralphie then must face school bully Scut Farcus, who happens to catch Ralphie after he gets his C+ and gets a beat down by a profanity spouting Ralphie. Thankfully, Ralphie’s mom let’s this swearing slide by and spares him another mouth washing.

With the obstacles stacking up, Ralphie goes straight to the source: Santa. Meeting a department store Saint Nick, Ralphie tells him that he wants a Red Rider BB gun, to which Santa responds “You’ll shoot your eye out” and pushes Ralphie down a slide.

But Christmas comes and Ralphie does get his prized BB gun, and thankfully doesn’t shoot his eye out (though he comes close). You can purchase A Christmas Story merchandise, apparel, and A Christmas Story t-shirts here, but you’ll probably shoot your eye out if you do.
