As young children yet to be tainted by the expectations and responsibilities of growing up, we all found Home Alone to be a glorious tale about a kid, Kevin, living out our dream of being an unaccompanied minor in a massive house with seemingly unlimited resources.

We could totally get over the minor inconvenience of a robbery on Christmas Eve.

But as bill-paying, inflation-facing, tax-deducted members of society who also have to feed ourselves, we as adults wonder how in this world Kevin McCallister's father managed to afford that house, two kids and a family trip to Paris (during peak travel season, at that)—and why he would be targeted.

Well, some fans hold the theory that Kevin's dad, Peter McCallister, is actually a "mob boss," and TikToker Brian Rooney (@roon_tang/TikTok) made it make sense.

As for the plot, Rooney claimed the two con men, Harry and Marv, "were from a rival family and they were seeking revenge which is why they were hitting up the block."

He continued to validate the idea, explaining how Kevin's actions in the film are "straight up G."

"I think the whole theory of Kevin’s dad being a mobster makes total sense just based off Kevin’s behavior."
"When Kevin found out that Harry and Marv were going to rob his house, it didn’t even occur to him to ever call the police."
"Kevin stuck to the G code of ‘this is my house. I have to defend it.’ That’s the most gangster sh*t ever."

Rooney went on:

"At the end he didn’t talk to the police at all. He didn’t give them a statement. He just kept his mouth shut. That’s some G code sh*t which he would have had to learn from his mob boss dad."
"Y’all better recognize Kevin McCallister was a stone-cold thug."

Others, however, found a few holes in his theory.

A few mentioned that Kevin's parents had day jobs. Peter was a "businessman," and Kevin's mother Kate was a fashion designer.

Also, several pointed out that Kevin couldn't call the cops because the phone lines were down.

And then there's the big one: Peter's brother actually paid for the trip to Paris.

Well, true or not, it's a decent fan theory with lots of supporting evidence!

...or perhaps Kevin's uncle is the mob boss...🤔

Some say that parenting is an impossible job, with an unending list of decisions and possible missteps, but parenting might feel uniquely impossible to someone in Savannah Guthrie's position.

Guthrie's mother, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, went missing from her home at the end of January. Her absence was first noted when she did not appear at church service that Sunday. One of her doors was discovered ajar and a single image of a blurry figure was caught on camera, and there's been no sign of her or her whereabouts since.
