Ralphie clearly has the greatest friends...


...Cause he was terrible to both Schwartz and Flick. He abandoned Flick when his tongue got stuck on the pole and told his mom Schwartz told him about the f-bomb, leading to a beating. The fact that both Flick and Schwartz never got mad at him after that shows they're saints. Even when Flick came into the class with a black eye, Ralphie hardly noticed.

Mom’s cooking helped.

They were all crappy friends to each other. Swartz put Flick up to licking the pole and laughed about it. No one stayed behind to help Flick. Boys that age don’t hold grudges over stuff like that.
