“Mommy, can I please have a quarter?” “What for?”
She asked, already knowing what I would say.
“I want to get gum at the grocery store” I
Replied, and she gave it to me.
“Hey, Mom, can I have five dollars?”She
Tried not to sigh as she asked, “What for?”
“I want to go to the movies,” I replied,
And she gave it to me.
“Mom, I need a twenty,” I tried, hoping
She was in a good mood. “I have a date
Tonight.” She gave me a tired look, but
She gave it to me.
“I’m out of gas for the car, and I
Have to go to work,” I said as I gave
Her a look. She pulled out money and
Gave it to me.
“I want to go to college and I need lots
Of money,” I wheedled. It was a stretch,
And I knew it. “Talk to your dad, dear. I’m
Out of money to give you.”
I wrote this last year - and no, it is not my true story! Hope you enjoyed reading it and are having a great day.
Actually, minus the gum, movies and date, it sounds much like reality. ^_^
ReplyDeleteHowever, my parents never did give me gas money. And I earned most of my college money... *le sigh*.
