Overheard at our house...
Brunette Twin: "Mom, will you buy me one of these?"
Mom: "You can save your allowance and buy it yourself."
Brunette Twin: "Well, I would but you never give us our allowance. You and Dad always forget, so I can't save any money if you don't give me my money."
Note to self...give the girls their weekly allowance on time.

We actually went to giving monthly allowance due to our poor track record with handing it out weekly. It has worked out really well and the kids love it because they feel like they are getting more money. Even though it's the same amount.
Love those stories! When my daughter was little she wanted something and asked me and I told her she should buy it with her allowance, to which she responded...WHAT? That's way too expensive! Love those daughters :)
We often had this problem! Finally we just started keeping an Excel spreadsheet of what was due to them that was like a bank statement. They could cash out when they wanted (or when we had the actual cash on hand).
