Allowance Appreciator Mugs

Dad, can you give me my pocket money?"

"Dad, this is Wendy, she's going to re-negotiate my allowance!"

"Allowance?! Yeah, if you take out the trash, I'll allow you to keep living here."

"Let's face it, Dad. If you really thought I was my own man, you'd give me a raise in my allowance."

'I know that other kids manage on ?5 pocket money - but their parents don't charge them to watch any television programme their parents don't happen to approve off!'

"I think you should provide a 401(k) with my allowance."

"He just talked me into giving him a 200% raise in his allowance. At least we don't have to worry about him not succeeding in business when he grows up."

I'd like to request a transfer to a household offering a higher allowance and fewer choices.

'...but if daddy raised your allowance he'd be hurting the economy by stimulating inflation. You wouldn't want him to do that, would you?'

'I'm worth more than $3,000 as a federal income tax exemption. So how about a raise in my allowance?'

"But, pop, I hardly expected the oil price bust to affect my allowance."

"When do you think the upturn in the economy will have an input in my allowance?"

'How about giving me one of those useless fivers you're always moaning about,Dad?'

"Why do I need more allowance? Because if you cut me off at 21, these are my prime spending years!"

'I already know about the birds and the bees. Tell me about investing my allowance for capital appreciation.'

'If I have to buy my sneakers with MY money, doesn't that blur the line between allowance and support.'

'If it wasn't for their great pension scheme I'd have packed this in years ago.'

"Regarding my art collection, I know what I like."

'A raise in my allowance is fine, dad. But what I'm really after is power of attorney.'

'You've handled your allowance responsibly for three years so we're cutting it by three percent and requiring you to pay a share of your health care expenses.'

'Since it's falling on me to help pay off the budget deficits when I grow up, I think you need to increase my allowance, Dad!'

'Your opinions are a rephrasing of my opinions. I like that in a subordinate.'

"...first, let's just figure out an adjustmetn to my allowance..."

'How am I supposed to do my part in stimulating the economy if you won't raise my allowance?'

'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.'

'I won't meet your demands for an allowance increase, so maybe you should become a free agent.'

"Baldo, no one likes being told what to do...but taking direction is a part of life."

"Is there the slightest chance of credit being eased by this weekend?"

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

'I thought I heard you rattling around.'

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

"Honey, I'm home."
