Shops
Following on from Haberman's post about the parent in the supermarket....

The other week I was in town with the nuggets and one of them began to get stroppy about having more money - he wanted some but without working for it as they both usually earn any money over and above the 50p they get each week for sweets. Of course I told him to dream on about me handing over cash for no good reason, so he sulked...

We happened to be in HMV at the time.


I walked past a stand full of DVDs.

I said in my loudest voice,

"Oh look darling! They've got your favourite here! It's High School Musical!"


His brother nearly ruptured his bladder.

He grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the shop.




Two days later he earned himself £5 for moving and stacking a load of logs for the winter. He's also offered to wash and vacuum out my car for £3.


I know those High School Musical DVDs are expensive.




And I know I'll probably have to pay for his therapy pretty soon.

It doesn't read well does it.
I didn't mean it to be rude like that. She's met me, she'll understand.

My house
Has rising damp in one room, a garden gate falling off its hinges, a slightly mouldy bathroom, mice, and some fat bastard who eats all the food.

I'll give him a shiny sixpence if he can shift the lot.

I will not be sharing this with him
because he is extremely mercenary in nature and would take you all up on your offers in the hope of turning himself into Richard Branson.

And I'm keeping his paid slavery to myself.

not sure
you can have paid slavery.

But £10 to sort out my damp proof course? Just let me know when.

chickenlady
You're my kind of parent!

I'll give him a fiver to cut the grass and sweep up the fallen leaves ..... lad next door usually does it but the clumsy fool broke his leg!

Honestly, kids these days. Can't cut the grass because of a broken femur? Slacker!

Audi dealerships
Wash and vacuum your car for free even if you only take it there for them to have a look at it.

Isn't there the slight problem of needing to own an Audi first?
