Corrected entry: Vada is going to bed and her dad is talking to her in her room. He tells her that the first thing her mother did when she found out she was pregnant with Vada was to come home and paint this room (Vada's bedroom) pink. The room is not painted pink, it is wallpapered in pink wallpaper with a tiny pattern of some sort in it.
My Girl (1991)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Howard Zieff
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Macaulay Culkin, Anna Chlumsky
Factual error: In one scene, Vada is showing off her mood ring. The movie is set in 1972 and mood rings were not created until 1975.
Thomas J. Sennett: Vada?
Vada Sultenfuss: Yeah?
Thomas J. Sennett: Would you think of me?
Vada Sultenfuss: For what?
Thomas J. Sennett: Well, if you don't get to marry Mr. Bixler.
Vada Sultenfuss: I guess.
Question: Is it ever said how Vada's mother died? Harry mentions she met Vada and lived a couple of days after her birth.
Answer: She still died due to complications from childbirth, despite living another couple of days. Hence why Vada believes that she "killed" her mother. Jane Seymour, the third wife of Henry VIII, also died from complications, but she lived for two weeks after.

Correction: Nine years have passed since Vada's mother learned she was pregnant. No wonder the room was redecorated during that time. Her dad just stuck to the pink scheme when he picked the wallpaper.
