tough love

[submitted by a couple in Missouri]

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am writing to tell you that I do not want to keep doing my chores for you unless you are going to pay me. I do not think it is fair that Suzie gets an allowance and I don’t. You said when I was old enough I would get allowance but now I am a slave. When are you going to tell me that all I get to eat is porridge? This week I cleaned my room, kept my bathroom clean, brushed my teeth every night and stopped eating chalk. All my friends get allowance and how else am I supposed to save up for a iDog that plays high school musical songs? Starting next chore, I will be stopping all work until you give one dollar per chore or an invisibility cloak.

Love,

Karen
