Allotment

'I grow all our tomatoes. I grow all our spinach. All you do is complain about the cost of my twice weekly manicures.'

'I refuse to get a job as long as my allowance is higher than minimum wage.'

'I'm done with school because all I need to make a living is to know how to persuade my dad to give me money!'

'She won't budge on the allowance, but she did present me an 800 page handbook detailing the perks.'

"The teacher says I'm a poor listener, Dad. Will you raise my allowance?"

"Those are my money managers."

"She's either lost her phone or she wants money."

'A raise in your allowance? I'll have to go and change into my suit before I can answer that.'

'Even with free medical, dental, room and board, I'm still not making it on this allowance.'
